My dad's 1958 Submariner 5508 restoration

First off, killer watch, awesome story. I am grateful to have my dads DJ and will post a similar thread when I get it back from LAWW. I went for the complete restore because I had some heavy handed watch makers polish in it in the past, and the lugs are pretty thin and round.

I think your bezel is the way it is because you told the watch maker to not go crazy on the buffing, polishing. To me your bezel looks the same, just not buffed like the one in the pic. I have no clue what is correct for your watch and this is just an amateur opinion. Someone else may be-able to give better advice.

If it was me, I would put the money in some tritium hands. I think the service dial looks killer. That is if you don’t have tritium hands already. Did the watch maker return the hands back? You could have your existing hands color matched.
