Package from Rik this afternoon

Sent the wife's YM off to Rik Dietel at Timecare for some service love. Returned today in BNIB condition - he does such fantastic work. I have to say his turnaround time is excellent too. I'm not a photographer, but you get the idea.

Not sure if you had scratches on the bezel but I have a yacht master with scratches on the bezel. Being that the bezel is PM wonder if they can restore it. Did they do that for you or did you have a scratch less bezel?

Oh yes! My wife had the bezel and the whole watch scratched up. Been trying for two years to let me send it back to Rik. It was past due for service. She was amazed he brought it back to new. I should have taken some before/after pics. Maybe next time.

He operates as Timecare Incorporated and posts here under the board name Rikki. You'll find many happy members who use his services.

It was through their recommendations I found him years ago. Real glad I did.

He did a great job on my 16700 though not particularly; close to the cost of RSC.
