And the final product...
 Vanessa did an outstanding job. I got it in the mail today and could not be happier. It looks amazing. Now I just need to wait for my strap to come in from overseas. I may get impatient...anyone know a good spot for a 19mm leather strap? |

Looks great !!
You can get a strap anywhere; The Watch Prince sells on-line as an example. Hirsch makes some nice curved end straps that fill the gap between the case and look great. Enjoy your "new" watch.

I have a 16570 on the way in need of a service and gaskets, and this thread sold me on Vanessa. I'll probably send it off to her. Thanks for posting.

Very classic piece, I cannot stop looking.
Congratulations and wear it to good health +1 for Vanessa, I spoke with her briefly some time ago. You can try to contact Michael Young to restore the bracelet, he may even have the extra links as well. I am also in the process of restoring my dad's 15053 Rolesor (circa 1981), and will be putting a dark tan custom stitched vintage strap.
