    Any resident who does Case/Bracelet refurbishment?

    Hi All,

    As per title, I’m looking for a quote on a case and bracelet refurbishment.

    I’d like to present my watch and ask what results can be achieved and at what price

    Rolex 1501

    Thank you, Claudio

    You could try Simon Freese:

    He's done some good work for me refinishing watches. He's very busy though (because he's so good), but it's worth the wait.

    I've emailed the office twice recently but received no response (that I'm aware of).

    I might get around to doing so but was simply highlighting the potential lack of response to the OP.

    Just an advisory as per a similar thread - refurbs are high quality for a reasonable price, however turnarounds tend to be slow (but worth the wait)

    Can anyone recommend with experience or case lapping then brushing (Rolex) service, to put sharp edges back where past polishing has softened the original shape and lines of an vintage Oyster case?

    Thanks,
    M

    By way of update, I had a call from Simon and he's keeping a list of names so that he can contact people to request they send the watch in when he has time to do it. So, just give him a call and he'll take your details. I get the impression he's in demand, for obvious reasons, but that the waiting time is a few weeks rather than months.
    I'm more than happy to wait knowing my watch will be in such capable hands!

    I can vouch for Seth from the watchdealer. Excellent service!
