Friend just bought one with an overpriced ridley service for less than 15k. I was the former owner, so he called me asking about it. Thick case. Matching dial and hands, correct FF insert.

So true...here is an “after” shot of my Maxi MK1 with the chamfers restored via a proper polishing by LAWW. Such a classic look...don’t think I could ever part with this one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think these early gilt dials, although hard to find, are hard to top. This one was a barn find a few years ago. |

When I read that a case has been refinished, I understand that the value of your watch crashed on the market !

You've worn it for longer than I've been alive, so far be it from me to teach you anything :-) The insert (i.e., the black ring; the "bezel" is the silver ring around that) is indeed a thin-font replacement. It looks like the minute/hour hands may have also been changed at service - see how they're a different color from the markers on the dial. The second hand color matches the dial. Hands and dial sometimes age differently, but a color difference this large would suggest replacement. It doesn't appear to be a gilt/glossy dial from the photo - the text is white rather than gold. The depth notation is meters first, which is rarer that feet first and commands something of a premium among collectors. I'll bow out here as an enthusiast rather than an expert. You've worn it for so long - I'd keep enjoying it if I were you. |

Absoutely correct, imo! Setting the date on a vintage piece requires patience. You have to love the piece, and/or plan to wear it daily for a period of time. Just another WIS who loves to trade!

I bought a m first with box, papers and original rivet bracelet in 2011 (serviced by Bob Ridley) and was just looking at what they are going for today and was shocked at how much they have gone up! Came hear to see what others are saying and saw this thread - so I am not imagining it!
