Re: Opinions on Returning Front of Case to Factory Specs

Hi: I sold an 1163V Autavia to a gentleman who lives in L.A. Last year. He said he uses ABC all the time, and took the Viceroy to them for refinishing of the case. He sent me photos afterward and it showed like new, with precision lapping in the sun burst brushed top pattern. I was very impressed and, having never used them before myself, I sent to them my Zenith/Movado El Primero for finishing...again, I was most satisfied. Hope this helps.

: Hello everyone,

: I am wondering how people feel about my sending my 1133B in to have
: the case front returned to the factory specs by having the metal
: brushed. It appears to have been overpolished, likely when the
: previous owner sent it in for service in early 2000. I live in
: the USA and I'm curious who people would recommend here in the
: states. I use ABC Watchwerks for my vintage Rolex pieces, and
: they are miracle workers with polishing and adding beveled
: edges, but I don't know if people have had experience with them
: working on Heuers here.

: Some pictures:
