Tudor 7016/0 Saved From A Dodgy Re-Lume

Hi Guys,

I had someone contact me recently that had a Tudor Sub which had been the victim of a terrible re-lume!

Here are the before shots. I particularly like the oversized 10 o'clock marker!

I removed the old lume and was able to re-lume with a vintage look.

I am a total klutz and could have done a better relume that that "before" photo.

Ashton, your rework shows true craftsmanship.

Great recovery. Literally looks like they did the original relume with chewing gum.
