Another Great Job by Rolliworks on a DJ 1601

I just got my DJ 1601 that was passed down by me father back from Rolliworks! I must say I am impressed! They fixed the Jubilee and Serviced the internals. I did take them up on a complimentary polish job and I love how it looks now! Below are some before and afters.

Can I ask what you did with the bezel? I am considering having my 1984 16013 redone by them and mine is pretty soft. Looks like yours got improved. Was that a replacement or same bezel recut?

All they did was polish it, it may have just been really dirty with age?

That turned out very nice! I’m sending my jubilee bracelet on my Date 1500 to Rolliworks for some work. How long did it take for them to do all the work?

Congrats and enjoy!

Thanks! It took them about a month and a week. I had them service the movement as well though so it wasn’t just the bracelet.
