Love the way you write; what a fun read with a great reveal. I hope you find a vintage Rolex expert who respects your wishes and keeps the watch as original as possible. Please take the time to research this with care; I’ve heard horror stories!

I brought my tent and sleeping bag 🏕️

No, this is Patrick.

I wish those films were cut to tighter tolerances. They’re slightly too small, and the edges are noticeable. I bought a kit (from Invisi Shield Lab) for my SkyD and only did the center polished portions on the clasp. Just two pieces. Same issue. But I was super anal on the alignment to make sure all the gaps from the edges were as uniform as possible to make them less noticeable.

Btw, I think the alignment of your stickers could be better. I find some of yours to be noticeably crooked. Alignment is a pain in the ass to do just right, but it makes the stickers far less noticeable.

Cheers, and crackin’ watch

Oh, hey, I was there too! It was definitely a great time.

I find yellow TT to go great with navy.

I was just thinking this the other day. I hate Putin, but I can separate that from his watches. I like his watches. But he can go straight to hell.
