Sadly, part of the "E" flaked off, nothing to be done unfortunately. This watch was rough as you see in the first image, worn by a pilot for 30 years and beat a good bit. From the photos Edvi emailed yesterday I have to say it is quite a resurrection, one I'll wear in rotation for awhile until I find one I like better. Ed

I'm thinking about sending my 1970 GMT Master to ABC Watchwerks, as it's about time for a service. The bevel on the lugs on my watch is basically gone, from wear. Is that really the correct amount of bevel for a watch of that age? I don't remember it being so much the last time Rolex serviced it (which has been a while: the last service was movement only, from a different independent).

It looks fantabulous. I would have had it polished, too.

...are you sure they returned the same watch ?????
Great job, I do not know the cost, but it was worth. Now you have an almost new looking watch and with some care, it will last you for another 30 years. Congrats
