Tudor 7928 & Rolex 5512

[onkyo]

I recently acquired two vintage pieces from a fellow member here .......

1) '64 Tudor 7928

2) '66 meters first Rolex 5512.

Both pieces were NEVER serviced/polished and needed immediate attention (yes.... I did know this beforehand).

So, off they went to Bob Ridley for servicing, replace broken parts, new tube/crown, light polishing, and NOS domed crystals. I asked Bob to keep as much original as possible.

I also purchased vintage correct bracelets for the pieces from our own Stan aka Tudorman (not pictured).

Here are some photos of the 7928 service from Bob which he allowed me to post here.

Enjoy!!! (sorry can't find before pics.... :banghead:)
