Jason my friend, that is one of the most unbelievable restorations I've seen. Considering what you got the piece for, I would have to say that this 1665 is arguably one of the best deals I've ever heard of and that this should go down in the Rolex forums Hall of Fame....I never get tired of looking at the before and after photos of it you are one lucky dog. Stunning my friend absolutely stunning

Jason,

Here's a snap of my modified LV.. I ended up taking it to the dark side and put a DLC treatment on it after the fact. A couple of big crowns! The LV has served as a proper beater all these years. Time for another DLC coat I think

I don't think so......I actually like the worn DLC look

What does it typically cost to have a case refinished by LAWW? For say a 5513?

Last I checked it was a tiered pricing structure that starts at $100 for a standard polish.
