Groat! I read through this bloody thing and still don’t know what happened? You threw the watch at your dog because it wouldn’t eat until 6pm and you’re blaming Rik??? Is this correct?

Like i've been discussing with many this week, my 'job' is to keep everyone happy.
Oh, guess we could add the Tudor BBC as the ceramic case should be durable enough. See, I know you're gonna beat the sh'' out of it, and frankly the Tudor or B&R I have faith in, the PAM CF not as much. Or get a G-Shock, they're great. Ceramic_Black_Strap.jpg

Decided to grab the smallest of the dive computers. Put it on and immediately felt better. Then realized it needs a new battery and if I remember correctly it’s a specific battery that has to be purchased from Oceanic and it comes with the seals and other crap. This is torture.

Contacted Rik today, watch goes to him Friday.
Unfortunately my offer on the 15037 was declined. So I guess it’s the ole Oceanic geo 2 for the next month or so. Sent from my Apple privacy invasion product |

Take some before pics. Rik does fantastic work and it will likely look brand new after.

I guess not bummer. Dropped it off to Rik today and he polished everything unless it’s vintage. So I guess it’s coming back polished. Also, it’s 23 yrs old and apparently (according to the case back) it’s never been serviced. Also dropped great grandfathers pocket watch off to him. He was super knowledgeable and an all around great guy. Thank you all for the recommendation, I think he is perfect for the job!! Sent from my Apple privacy invasion product |

Well it was a pretty great Friday. Then I hurt a trusted friend.

He’s a pro. It always looks way better than I think it will. He does it super tasteful and won’t look over polished. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
