Where to restore 16808 full Gold Sub?
Gents,
I'm in London. I have a 16808 Full Gold Nipple Dial Sub from 1987. The dial is discolouring and although the bracelet is in great condition, the case of the watch has been very heavily polished. The case has certainly lost those sharp edges and become all soft and over-polished. I want it to be brought back to life. And I appreciate, that may mean a new case... What do I do? How do I give it to? My suspicion is that dial/bracelet etc are no problem. I'm concerned about the case! Help help help please! Thank you in advance. Regards MB |

You can also check with David Duggan - Rolex certified techs and a parts account if you need a new case. You may also want to check with ABC Watchwerks in California - they've done some amazing work with laser soldering on SS pieces and may be able to help with your gold Sub.
