5513 Back from the Ridley Spa

Dropped my 5513 off at Philip's and couldn't be happier! Looks like it came back from the beauty Spa on the outside and runs like it's half its age! Some before and afters, enjoy.

The Ridley's are more than reason enough to not use RSC's.

The new crystal made a big difference, not inexpensive but worth it. I also like the cosmetic work he did on the bracelet, it makes it a better match to the watch even though its not the original one. Maybe a 7206 one day in the future but not sure its worth it. Would have to try one on.
