1675 back from first ever service

She came back today looking great, I would like to thank Bill from William Rice watches for doing a fantastic job, full internal service, new plexi as the other had a hair line crack, and gasket+ pressure test. ALSO thanks to Neil and Jed for my new strap. photo (44).JPG

Thanks, it started losing about 30 seconds per hour, and sounded a bit rough.

Same with largest RSC i DK. Service price on vintage is up 80% in price since last year (for some watches). Service price is based on watch/ and caliber.
