5513 freshly back from Dalton

I posted these pictures on another thread but think they deserve a thread of their own. Dalton refurbished my '84 5513 Sub for me, and I think the work is stunning. Hope you like it as much as I do. I thought it was nice when it went in, but it is now... how to say it... snapped back in focus.

Thanks for enjoying the pics, guys. And thanks to JJ for not groaning publicly about the NATO!

I relied on some strong TRF references to Dalton's work, and I'm very happy with the result. Good ol' TRF!

Dalton is one of those guys you can recommend and trust without any reservation. I won't post it again but the work he did on my 5513, was simply mind-blowing.

When it comes time to get my 1675 and 16710 serviced, I'll be sending them to him.

Outstanding watch BTW!

Hey, Swatty. Outdoor camera work was facilitated by a very helpful, lightly overcast day. Thanks for enjoying.
