Looks good. It's amazing how a new bezel color basically gives you a new watch.

No Tim, He Did Not Polish It. I Keep The Case Looking Good On My Own.
However Bob Did Bring The Bracelet Back To Factory Specs As
Well As Installing The New Insert. I'm Very Pleased, Bob Never Disappoints.

Thanks for the info. I try to keep my Sub as pristins as possible without being too anal about it. The bracelet and clasp are a bit harder to keep scratch free. I'll have to make the decision 4 or 5 years down the road as to what I want to do at service time. Your watch looks fantastic. Is it a daily wearer or in a rotation?

In Rotation Tim. Not A Dailey Watch. Only Leaves The House For Special Occasions.
This Is A True Rolex Classic Only Made For Seven Years Which Is A Blink Of The
Eye In Terms Of Watch Making, Hard To Find This Watch On The Market Anymore.
I Like To Keep It As Mint As Possible.
