Goldfinger can't hold a candle to this one - just back from my AD!!

Hi guys,

Got my beloved TT BLUE SUB back this morning from my AD after a complete cosmetic make-over on the numerous scratches and scuff marks all over the bracelet and clasp.

Now.....take a look!!

Are you saying that if I get a little special polishing, I will be brand new.

That would, of course, depend on the polisher and the "substance" used to carry out the polishing!!

Yes, boss!

I just couldn't live the next few years with all those scratches made by the previous owner. They were driving me insane, Eddie!!

Pristine and perfectly polished. Looks like a new watch fresh out of the box! Your AD knows their finishing.

When Freud was postulating his theories, if this particular Rolex had been in existence at that time, he surely would generated a construct to address "Submariner envy." I surely have it and the only thing that will resolve this condition is if Rolex makes a ladies size or mid-size. Until that time, I fear I am doomed to suffer.

No scratches as far as I can see. Possibly a few streaks left over after I gave the bracelet a swipe with my micro-fibre cloth.

I thought Goldfinger just melted gold down and stuck it into the doors of his Rolls Royce.
