    Got dad’s watch back (1803 Day Date). Mark the Watch Doctor in PA did a full overhaul and replaced a defective main spring all for $275! Even touched up the lume from some prior degradation on a few numbers. Super stoked. So it got the overhaul, StrapFreak leather band, StrapFreak case gap links (between the case and the strap) and a custom made gold Rolex buckle. I also picked up some 18k pins from the Rolex forum so that stainless pins don’t wear out the case holes. So not bad for a 62 year old watch!

    It's not my deal but that looks great, well done.

    Any love for the Reverso here, I'm looking at them by can't deduce what a normal model is, so many random variations.

    For a gold watch (personally ugh..not me) its awesome. Glad you got it fixed and can rock your dads watch.

    I'm not a big fan of gold watches in general, but if you don't like a gold president you're a communist.

    If they didn't get me to bite on the $250 Nicky Tissot last fall, I'm sure not falling for that. I'm a loooong way from the baller some of you guys are.

    You know full well i'm going to change my mind 5 times before i pull the trigger. But... right now it's either the IWC Portuguese or a vintage PiePan Constellation.
