Re: Rolex Prince Ref : 912, 1934
It looks immeasurably better since the restoration yet has retained all the original character, congratulations Ferg
If we'd said to you a year ago you'd have a Rolex this time next year, you probably wouldn't have believed it! It's not taken over from CW as your favoured watch brand now has it?

Looks abso-bloomin-lutely fableeoos Ferg. As said previously, a fantastic balance, with regards to the amount of restoration and patina.

I did a power reserve yesterday and it lasted 31 hours which is quite excellent I think for a movement that is 85 years old.

I sent off for my Steveostrap 'Rosewood' strap last night.
Looking forward to see how it will turn out and look on the Rolex.
