Nice watch, looks a little like the crown guard on the 4 is a bit different than on the 2 position. Can be trick of the camera.
Love to see how your bracelet turns out

I think it might be the angle of the camera. ( I phone ) as I took before pics of the bracelet size along with a rule so you could see how much stretch the refurb reduced but the camera lens and angle distorted the pic

Well, considering even IF the 4 o'clock crown guard was a bit different, there's nothing that can be done about it now. That said, I think it looks fantastic. Perfectly even crown guards, and perfectly even all four lugs is a rarity anyway. I can't believe it would ever be an issue unless you were going out of your way to look for discrepancies. I would be proud to wear this watch.

Did you give them any instructions before putting the watch in ??
I.e. About not touching the dial/ hands etc. Both my 1680 & 1665 due services next year & nervous about putting in incase any issues Ps - watch looks great |

NO polishing NO new dial NO new hands Then you should be fine. It worked in case of RSC Koeln and AD Heetman here in Holland. |
