In Response To: Thank you Jeff... ()

I have said it several times before, I like the contrast between the cold silver dial and the warm gold case on the S.

From the outside, looks like the most work on this one is needed on the case. Such a shame that a few 1158s have ended up with a simple polish, probably a mix of ignorance of the original case finish and just that it's the plain easiest way to refinish a case. One of the benefits of a Mr Court refinish is that he well knows what the watch was like originally and that can only be to the benefit of the end result, so we're all looking forward to seeing how this looks when finished Abel!

And I totally agree, it would be nice to own all three 1158 models - it's an idea I've toyed with myself, though it didn't gain as much traction with me (or at least not yet) as I was lucky enough to get the one I really wanted first time out.
