I really must read my posts lol I meant nice tight band mate, president band at night the contrast is stunning just after service between brush and polish finish in low light at night

Thank you, the band stretch was a major factor for me when looking for a DD. I'm glad I was able to find this one.

BradTrinh24 · 29 November 2016, 05:01 PM

I sent mine off to Rik about a month ago, how long did it take to service your watch? I hate to bother him with my constant nagging of when it will be done. Mine had to be laser welded as well.

Rocket_Man · 29 November 2016, 05:53 PM

It looks great and from the many pics I assume Rik polished it for you. But it doesn't look polished. Can you tell us if you asked for a polish? A lite polish? Or no polish?

Lordofrolex · 29 November 2016, 06:06 PM

Looks great

Limestonedan · 30 November 2016, 12:32 AM

Rik doesn't do the polishing/refinishing. His son does. I would say that yes, his watch was refinished...but OP can confirm. Looks like mine did when it I picked it up from Rik....amazing.

sea-dweller · 30 November 2016, 03:06 AM

Outstanding!

HogwldFLTR · 30 November 2016, 05:31 AM

Great watch; the work done by Rik is wonderful. He did a great job on my 16700. Since it is tritium it would likely have needed a new dial and hand had it gone to RSC for service. I didn't realize this until I sent my wife's Tudor Lady Sub to RSC and it cost $1500 for the service because of dial and hands replacement. Regarding the bracelet; he didn't do restoration on it other than cosmetic did he?

joli160 · 30 November 2016, 07:38 AM

Very nice watch, looking sharp, great job done

Sorry for my deleyed response, busy with work. Thank you everyone for all of the kind comments, i am glad to have it back : ) I'm afraid to wear it again though I feel like it scratches if i look at it the wrong way lol

It took about 6-7 door to door, I let Rik know I wasn't in a huge hurry to get it back. He didn't do any laser welding on mine, just polishing. If he is laser welding yours I can only imagine that will take a bit longer. Trust me it will be well worth the wait. Make sure you post some pics when you get it back, I'm sure it will look fantastic.

I asked Rik to lightly polish it and that's exactly what he did, very happy with how it turned out. Like I mentioned before I am not best with a camera either lol.

No restoration, just asked him to lightly polish it. It doesn't see much wrist time so the bracelet is still it rather good shape
