Old friend returns

The bracelet on my Date finally gave up the ghost so I left it with Mallory’s in Bath for a service and replacement.
Also needed a new crown and glass.
This was my first ‘proper’ watch, bought in 1993, I think, when I was living in Bermuda. It’s been treated as a beater ever since. Small at 34mm but comfortable, reliable and had a hard life. So really good to get a complete refresh and feels like a new watch. Work completed by their in house watchmaker.

Very impressive. Got a before pic?

No pictures, but the stretch was pretty bad and completely worn at the spring bar. Years of abuse, I'm afraid.

Great result and thanks for the recommendation.

It may be a 34 mm but the size looks just right on your wrist shot.

Yes, feels very comfortable and always a step change when it’s swapped for my Panerai!

Impressive work, especially around the case. Looks like new again!

Always good to get an old friend back. Looks good on you.
