Old Father Time Reviews & Customer Comments

I can not thank you enough for repairing my Daddy’s watch.  My husband received it today and is thrilled beyond measure with it.  He is so excited & proud to have it.   He said he would have worn it whether we had it repaired or not but I am so grateful we found you & were able to have brought back to life.  He has read all of your instructions & is printing them off.  Thank you again & God bless you in your walk.  Janet, Johnson City, TN

My watch arrived today, and it looks like new.  I am sure it will last for many more years (I hope I do), and I cannot thank you enough.  It was an amazing surprise, given its condition when I sent it to you.  Thank you again.  Carl, Falls Church, VA

Just wanted to send a quick note to say how nice the Accutron you restored for me was. It was my father's, a gift from a patient in (he thinks) 1968 or 1970 or thereabouts. (It has a little 'Asclepius' symbol (the snake around the rod, ancient medical symbol). Just beautiful, how the case looks brand new and it runs very nicely.  I took it for my father to see who is 91. He held it and said, 'it looks brand new'. I would agree.  Thank you again!  Eric, Atlanta, GA

I just wanted to pass along my thanks to you and the crew there at Old Father Time. My father’s watch came back looking so clean and shiny, its signature hum restored. I am almost afraid to wear it, it’s so nice. But I’m wearing it (carefully — and even made it a soft little bed to rest in). I was especially glad to see that the Accutron logo on the crystal had the little tuning fork symbol as I had requested. I wear my dad’s watch on one wrist and a bracelet from my mom on the other. While I don’t have either much-missed parent on Earth here anymore, I like to think I’m like Wonder Woman with the powerful wrist jewelry of protection. :) Plus, I think the Accutron Spaceview is the coolest watch ever made. Thank you all again for your help.  Beth, Reading, MA

My father bought a Bulova Accutron in the 1960’s.  It was the Space View model with clear crystal and tuning fork.  Probably the first electronic watch!  It was amazing technology at the time and a showstopper.  Everyone wanted to see it and hear the tuning fork.  My father, a WWII vet, passed away several years ago and left me the watch.  It laid dormant for half a century, and I put a battery in and it began working.  It was not accurate and needed professional service.  There are very few businesses you can trust with such an heirloom. I was lucky to find Old Father Time watchmakers.  They appeared to be the world experts on restoring these watches.
I submitted my watch, and they sent me back an estimate which was about what I expected.  I gave them the OK and they did as promised and performed a beautiful restoration.  They are very discreet about shipping to prevent bad guys from stealing. 
Opening the package and seeing this “new” watch was very emotional to me, wow, what a perfect job.
If anyone has an [Accutron] watch, I highly recommend their professionalism, expertise and honesty.  Joe, Richmond, VA

My Accutron was delivered this afternoon.  What a beautiful restoration!  It looks just like I remember it in the jewelry store the day my dad bought it for me as a high school graduation gift in 1967.  OFT did a superb job.  Thanks so much!  Thomas, Silver Spring, MD

Please extend my thanks and gratitude for the incredible work on my Astronaut, it far exceeded my expectations. The visual appearance alone tells me of the fine craftsmanship that went into the internals as well. I plan on revisiting a previous request for a restoration on a different piece after experiencing your company’s work. Doug, Heights, MN

My experience with the staff and the expert watchmakers at Old Father Time could not have been better. From the OFT’s detailed website through the evaluation of my watch to the completion of its servicing, I knew I was working with those who had the tools and the expertise to restore my “swap meet find.” Throughout the process, OFT staff members were helpful, customer oriented, and thorough. I have had other vintage watches serviced by the best. OFT is one of them.  Thank you, Don, Lakewood, CA

I received my Spaceview yesterday and it is gorgeous.  Great Job.  It was to be a gift for my Dad on Father's Day, and it was the best Father’s Day ever.  My Dad remembered every single detail of the day he bought the Spaceview new when he was 18.  The experience was priceless.  Thank you so much, Nelson, Tampa, FL

The Accutron safely arrived yesterday; it looks and runs perfectly so far. Thank you so much!  I received the Accutron as a gift when I graduated from college in 1970. I used it daily & proudly until around 1986, after receiving a gift of a Rolex Presidential. About 10 years later I unsuccessfully attempted to have the Accutron serviced & repaired; then I had a shadowbox display case made for it. So, when I sent it to you it hadn't worked for almost 40 years! I'll wear it occasionally & admire it frequently because of its personal history. I plan to pass both watches to my son.  Bill, Medina, WA

My wife gave me a watch from you guys last week, for my birthday. I have wanted one of these for years and I couldn't be happier! It was a 1962 Spaceview and I couldn't believe how perfect it looks. I am a jeweler and I have a very critical eye and I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you so much for helping me start my watch collecting hobby. We have a jewelry store that is next door to a watch company and they have watches in their store that go for upwards of $300,000 and I walk past that store everyday when I get the mail. I am a watch enthusiast and I look at those watches everyday, but the one that is on my wrist right now, from [Old Father Time], to me, is a cooler watch than anything in their store. Thank you so much for sending me a watch that gives me so much pleasure every time I look at it. Hopefully we will be doing more business and this is just the first, of many watches, that I will be purchasing from you again.  John, Naples, FL

Just wanted to let you know how thrilled I was to receive my Dad's restored watch!  He wore it everyday to work and now I am wearing it to work:)  It's been keeping time and it's beautiful.  I just need to keep in mind the care that comes with a Vintage watch. I guess I'm vintage also, as I am 1 year older than the watch!  Thank you so much for your services!  Sarita, Freemont, CA

The Spaceview arrived today safe and sound, as well as the spare battery and gasket.  Thank you and the team for keeping this little gem going.  Theresa, Melbourne, FL

Just recieved my watch, omg you guys did a great job, it looks brand new, I am very pleased with it, thank you so much. John, Copperas, TX

I just wanted to say thank you. The restoration exceeded my expectations in terms of what you were able to do for the appearance of the watch. It was in really rough shape. It's just beautiful.  I think my Dad and brother would be proud to see it look like it did 56 years ago. I will think of them every time I wear it. Jim, Orange, CA

We want to thank you for the magnificent job you did on our watch. Not only does it work perfectly but it has been cleaned so beautifully that it looks brand new even thought it’s over fifty years old. Thanks again for your professionalism and great care.  Lawrence, Wilmington, NC

I’m writing to tell you my watch arrived yesterday, on time, and in apparently perfect condition.  It’s looking beautiful.  I also want to thank you personally for your excellent customer care throughout the process.  I will gladly recommend Old Father Time to anyone seeking care on a difficult watch rehabilitation.  It’s been a pleasure to be in your careful hands.  Tom, Seattle, WA

I received the watch yesterday. It is beautiful and working perfectly. I am very, very pleased, you did an excellent job--thank you very much!  Jeff, McLean, VA

I just wanted to let you know both of my watches arrived today in perfect running order. I'm so happy with how they turned out. Amazing attention to detail. Couldn't be happier!  Thanks again, Franklin, Milwaukee, WI

Thank you so very much - my watch is safely ensconced back on my wrist, good as new! As always, I sincerely appreciate the care Old Father Time puts into keeping this old watch (and its old owner) running smoothly!  Gary, Seattle, WA

Touching base to let you know my watch arrived safe and sound.  The only other package I have ever received that hummed was a package of honeybees. The watch looks spectacular.  I am so glad your organization was able to give it a new lease on life.  Now into its second half century at 54 years, I will treat this very special timepiece as the distinguished companion that it is, reserving for it the finest of occasions.  Including the 14 leap year days,  after approximately 28 million, four hundred and twenty one thousand, four-hundred and sixteen full sweeps of the second hand, it deserves nothing less than the best.  Thank you so much.  Bob, East Dennis, MA

Watch arrived at 1245 pm today showing correct time and date. As of now time continues to be accurate. Thank you.  I am happily wearing this beautiful timepiece that is more than 54 years old and it looks new. My wife gave it to me about 54 years ago and now, again, for Christmas 2021.  Thank you and the watchmaker for doing such a masterful renovation of the watch.  George, Bellbrook, OH

Absolute beautiful!  Looks like a new watch.  From the way it looks I am confident that the workmanship inside is just as beautiful.  Just wanted you to know how pleased I am.  Dan, Troutville, VA

My boss just opened up the Fed Ex (package) and is completely BLOWN AWAY! The watch looks brand new! He is so pleased with it, so I wanted to THANK YOU for making me look like a Super Assistant!!    Cannot thank you enough! Another satisfied customer!!  Ann, Dulles, VA

Watch arrived safely - repair and external finishing and polishing exceeded my expectations - almost too nice to wear.  Ron, Ashville, NC

The watch arrived yesterday, stunning! Beyond my expectations, I'm wearing it right now. Please thank the technician that did the repair work. I'm going to give your business a wonderful review.  Drew, Carmel, IN

Thought I would let you know that the two watches delivered yesterday and I could not be more pleased.  Thank you all so much, they look great, exceeding my expectations.  Hal, Chattanooga, TN

The timepiece arrived without incident.  I am very pleased with the finished product.  Thanks for the quality workmanship.  Joe, Columbus, OH

Just received the Accutron today.  My husband is so incredibly happy to be wearing it.  We can't thank you enough for bringing this watch back to life, and it meant so much to my husband as it reminds him of his late father, who wore it all the time while he was alive as you  could tell from all the  nicks and dings on the original crystal.  I'm attaching a photo of my husband wearing the repaired watch.  We've already referred a few people to your shop for purchasing a refurbished Spaceview.  Again, thank you so very much.  Regards, Theresa, Melbourne, FL

I received my watch as expected, and to my surprise, the watch turned out absolutely beautiful.  I had forgotten how nice it once was as it was my dad's and he gave it to me.  Thank you so much for the time, trouble, and work you guys put into this.  It keeps great time also.  Not sure if it was you who did the repairs or someone else, but if it is someone else, thank them for me.  All of you there were great, answered any questions I had and kept me up to date on the status.  Again, thanks to everyone who was involved with this.  Jack, Kinston, NC

I received my Accutron last night. It is beautiful.  Thank you and your folks for restoring something that had over 40 years of memories Thank you again, Gary, Ridgewood, NJ

I received the watch today,  Thank you.  It looks new.  Beautiful job and I am so excited to be able to wear it again.  Bill, Palm Springs, CA

All I can say is WOW!!! You guys did a fabulous job restoring the watch and the band fits my son perfectly. Really, really wow! I had no idea it would turn out this good. It looks almost brand new.  Camille, Caldwell, ID

I returned home from the holiday weekend and found my beautifully restored Accutron waiting for me.  The watch looks as good as new and is ticking away. Please extend my sincere thanks to the professionals who took my watch from a worn out, sad looking and non-operating condition to the gem it once was and I hope will be through the rest of my days.  Sincerely, Frank, Norwich, VT

I waited a bit before contacting you in order to observe how well my watch functioned. I am more than pleased with both the appearance of my watch and how well it keeps time. Thank you for your assistance through out. It has truly been a pleasure dealing with you.  Dennis, Jefferson Hills, PA

My watch arrived today, and as you said, it looks as good as new.  I would be pleased to do a more formal review (positive of course) but for right now, I want you to know I am very pleased.  I may enjoy wearing this watch more than my Dad did!  Ray, Stillwater, MN

I received my Accutron 214 back a week ago Thursday! After living with it for the past week, and timing it out several times, I need to tell you that I am so happy with your professional repair and workmanship! I never thought I would see this high Quality ever again! Just Incredible- Thank You All again, and please tell the master technician, who worked on my watch, thank you and he will see it again for the battery change hopefully in a year or so- Thank You!  Walt, Moore, SC

Thank you for the wonderful job you did in restoring my 1968 Accutron.  It hasn't  run for years and now it is just like it was when I  got it for Christmas so long  ago.  Thank you  Old Father time.  Alan, New Cumberland, PA

I received my two watches yesterday. They arrived in perfect condition and both looked better than they did new! I am back wearing my model 214 that saw so much service during war timing missions, years of college getting me to class on time, then sailing with me around the world a couple of times as a navigation watch. Now, I can know when it is lunch time or time to come in from the yard.  Thanks for your nice work.  They will get a little more than just a glance--from me and others who I will show what fine work you do.  Tom, Port Angeles, WA

The watch arrived today, and I was amazed at the transformation!  Thanks so much for the amazing job OFT did with this timepiece, it’s now a valued member of my collection!  John, Tucson, AZ

I just received my Bulova Accutron back from Old Father Time Repair and it looks as nice as it did when it was new!

Thanks for being so detailed in taking care of my watch even in the middle of hurricane Dorian. How many of us can say that your company stepped up and still was able to manage through all the unknowns of this environmental event. Accolades to you and all your staff. Especially to those techs that got the watch running again. I received it today and so far so good , it came and it is running after unpackaging.  A special thanks goes out to you OFT for having patience.  Norm in Bluffton, SC

I wanted to let you know that my treasured Accutron not only looks gorgeous but keeps perfect time!  I'm very pleased with your workmanship and attention to detail.  Bob in Kennewick, WA

I can’t believe how GREAT the Accutron looks now. I am so excited that this turned out so well and that it was brought back to life. We just could not part with it even when it was in such poor shape. I am so glad that we hung onto it. We were very lucky to have found a company that values these unique watches and are dedicated to keeping to their existence.  We were disappointed that the band we picked did not fit properly, but the band installed looks VERY nice with the face trim.  Many, Many Thanks!   Eva from Rancho Mirage, CA

My restored watch just arrived. Absolutely fantastic!  Thank you very much.  Martin, Simi Valley, CA

My grandpa’s watch is great!  Thank you very much. My mom and I couldn’t be happier.  Excellent work.  Kyle in Friendswood, TX

My Accutron is running great and it looks great with the new brown lizard band.  We were wondering how much they sold for new.  It’s a 1971, 10KGF, model 214, pretty plain, no date.  Your attention to this is appreciated.  Danny, Bastrop, TX

Thank you for your prompt and great help.  Followed your recommendations which could not have been better.  It has certainly been our pleasure to have found you and want to commend you on the excellent work you are doing and hopefully will be doing for many years to come.  Thanks again, Delilah in Jacksonville, FL

Aloha, I received the watch this afternoon and I'm very impressed--it's sparkling and the new band is so perfect :-)))!!!  Thanks for everything, Steve in Honolulu, HI

I received my 2181 fully restored Accutron. The watch is exactly as I remembered it when it was given to me 52 years ago by my wife, now deceased, as a wedding present. It makes me very happy. I can't remember the method for setting the time and day. I can't find anything specific to the 2181 on the internet. Can you send instructions?  With great appreciation, Arthur, El Cerrito, CA
Reply:  Thanks Arthur.  Glad you asked.  The Accutron Setting Instructions are found here on the OFT website:  Accutron Setting Instructions

WOW, just got my watch, WOW. Is amazing, set to West coast time and RIGHT on time.   WOW.  Thank You So Much.  Did I say WOW!?!?!    Paul in Las Vegas

Bright and shiny. Looks gorgeous. Humming along wonderfully.  This replaces one I bought in 1969 that was stolen. I'm selling the Rolex.  Thanks Robert A.

Thank you, my watch just arrived.  It is perfect. Probably better than it was when my father bought all those many years ago.  He wore it for many years and it really showed.  It was in rough shape.  I am amazed at case, it hasn't looked that good in decades.  Thank you and all who were involved in restoring the watch.  David, Alexandria, Virginia

I want to express my appreciation for your excellent work -- as always -- on my Spacevue Accutron.  You always do exactly what I expect timely and fairly.

Thank you.  Sincerely, Allison in Live Oak, FL

I received the watch [Accutron], and it looks fantastic. In a world of reduced expectations and increased fraud, it is refreshing to find honest people working a craft. Please pass on my gratitude to the team for resurrecting my father-in-law
 watch [Accutron],. He has passed, but it means a lot to my wife and will be an heirloom for our son once I'm done showing it off.   Thank you, Ryan in Dublin, California

Been wearing since yesterday.  Meaningful....  Dad loved this watch [Accutron], at an age 20 years my junior today, and I remember it well.  Thank you for restoring this watch [Accutron], and attached memories for us "both".  Paul, Lititz, Pennsylvania

Never have I received so much professionalism from anyone or company.  I know it takes time but as a customer I appreciate it.  Thanks again, Dana, Bakersfield, California

Much thanks. I just want to express again how grateful I am that your firm was able to repair this watch. It is the only gift I have from my grandmother, who gave it to me when I was a teenager. It has not been functional for many years. I was so thrilled to open the box yesterday and find my Accutron: fully functional, keeping perfect time, and bright, shiny and clean. Much thanks, again. -- Mike, Portland OR

 perfect. Thanks so much..... Very happy!!    Regards Chris, Anaheim, California

I received my Accutron Space View watch a few days ago and I want to thank everyone at Old Father Time for doing such a great job in restoring it to like new condition.  My parents bought this watch for me upon my high school graduation in June 1970 and it has tremendous sentimental value.  When I opened the package and saw it with that lizard skin black strap I immediately recalled seeing the Space View for the first time in the display case at the Jewelers in Waterbury, CT when I accompanied my mom to that store for something she was picking up.  Mom saw how much I liked the Accutron and decided it would make a great graduation gift.  I was completely surprised when I opened the box in June 1970.  If memory serves me, the cost of my Accutron in 1970 was about $150.00 so it was, at the time, a big-ticket item.  You not only restored my Accutron but my memories as well.  It has been a great conversation piece over the years and I am thrilled to have it back.  Again, thank you all so very much for your expertise and craftsmanship in restoring my Accutron Space View.  It is much appreciated.  Sincerely,  Steve, Wolcott, CT

Received my 2 Accutrons today and upon initial examination, could not be happier.  Their condition was immaculate and technically seem perfect.  The work and experience was heads above  the level of what the last self proclaimed Accutron  "savant" [expert] performed.  Again thanks for quality work.  Also please be on the lookout for a FedEx shipment contains an Astronaut that I am sending for service.  It should be there next week.  Cheers,  Ted, Wake Forest, NC

Just received my watch by FED-EX. I am very pleased with your service , watch looks great and seems to be running just right.  Thanks, Steve, St. Johnsbury, VT

Again WOW!! Thank you very much!! Received the Space View watch Friday . Just beautiful like new condition and keeping accurate time. Please give the watchmaker my heart felt Thanks for a job well done!! Very pleased with the restoration.  Jay, Los Angeles, California

My watch arrived today, safe and beautifully sound. Wow!  What an absolutely fabulous job you all did.  It is splendid.  Like new!  I thank you so much for your stellar work.  Michael, Palm Springs, California

Watches are great and running beautifully, nice complements on them,,,,, Again thank you, your workmanship is outstanding,,,,,, your watch maker does beautiful / outstanding work :-) Sincerely,George  

Thank you very much for doing a wonderful job overhauling my 1967 214 Accutron.  My Accutron looks as new as it was displayed at the retail store for sale.  It took months of hard work to save up the money to buy it.  Now, I'm hoping to use my Accutron for many more years to come.  Again, thank you very much for taking a good care of my mechanical friend.  Ryuhi

Just a note to say I got my watch back in perfect condition.  It looks and runs great.  Thank you,  Dennis

I have received my Accutron.  It looks beautiful and appears to be running smoothly.  Thanks so much. Howard

The only thing i can say is that my Accutrons are magnificent :-)  !!!!!!!!!  Thank You, Sincerely, George

I have the Bulova in my hands now - WOW it is beautiful! (Did you see it finished?).  I'll be putting on the burgundy strap; that should really make a nice "statement"!  Thanks for all your patience and help with this project.  Much appreciated,  Karl

Received my repaired spaceview yesterday and it is beautiful as it was new. I thank you for your prompt and quality service. It only needed a crystal this time. But you guys completely restored this watch 2 years ago for my wife to give me for Christmas and the result then was shocking.  thanks, Jim in Stevensville, MD

Just want to thank you for the service you rendered in honoring your guarantee in repairing my Accutron Watch, as swell as the fine way it was prepared for shipping it back to me.  I am well pleased in the fine workmanship that was rendered on the completed overhaul.   My Accutron is now keeping perfect time and looks great.  I will be sure to have you change the battery when it is  no longer is functioning.  Sincerely, Barney

My Accutron actually arrived in Portland late last week (Thursday, I believe.)  I was volunteering at a golf tournament, so was not at home when they tried to deliver it the first time.  I had them hold it for me at their facility in Lake Oswego.  I picked it up Monday afternoon.   Wow! It looks brand new, just like it did when I took it out of the box nearly 50 years ago, and it is keeping great time, too.  :-)  Thanks again for the wonderful service.  Sincerely,  Jim

My watch was received in perfect condition, and running fine.  Thanks for your great service and good work!!  

Just wanted to let you know that we are still enjoying our two Accutrons you restored a few months ago. They are running like champions ! I seem to have forsaken my Rolex, Breitling and Omegas for them. I've even gotten unsolicited comments about them especially the Space-View. What
 really great is the look on their faces when I let them listen to them. Again , thanks for the great job. I remember my Uncle each time I see it. Best wishes, William

I expected a longer waited and this announcement has me very excited.  Thank you. Tom

Note to tell of arrival home of my beloved Bulova Accutron Astronaut. In addition to working well, it has the outstanding appearance of a new timepiece. Once again, thank you Old Father Time, Technicians, Craftsmen and Staff for a job well done! Y'all must have a large loyal customer base of existing and new customers as well. Frankly, dunno why any Bulova Accutron end user would let anyone else work on their beloved timepiece. Is beyond me for a fact. Anyways, thank you again,Louis

Woooooooooooooohoooooo !  Just received the two Accutrons that were restored by you recently. Invoice #s 9983 and 9984.   Fantastic ! Wonderful ! Beyond expectations ! Wonderful job !

Thanks , can't take them off. Love the green strap and Spaceview crystal. Love the polish job on the Asymetric. Looks just like when they left the jewelry store. Glad I got with the best. The results are stunning ! Thank you so much. William

I received my watch in excellent shape and it is beautiful.  Thank you very much for returning my late father  retirement watch to full function.  I will wear it proudly. Do you also service Ladies  Accutron watches?  I have one that is non-working and in need of restoration.  Your website only really shows men, so I wanted to ask before sending.  Sam

Just a note to thank you and all at OFT for the incredible job you did on the repair of my Astronaut Accutron watch that was returned to me today.   It looks and runs like new.  I have a 1972 Spaceview gold plated Accutron  I will be sending in for cleaning. It was a graduation present in 1972 and has worked perfectly since then but due to its value now I thought I should have it cleaned.  Thank you again for the excellent work.  Best regards,  David

Really appreciate the fine work you did on my Accutron Spaceview (invoice xxxxxxx).  Suppose you've heard this before ... but it looks as good as new and works great.  It has sentimental value to me as it was a college graduation present from my mother in 1969, and she passed away many years ago.  I was the Director of Metrology for Hewlett-Packard test equipment for many years. We made cesium beam clocks among other things.  Visited the center of time traceability at BIPM in Paris in 2002.  Dr. Wallard was the Director Generale at the time.  Dave 

Once again, you're the best! I received the new battery on Saturday and immediately installed it in my watch. It started humming, the hands were moving, and I reset it to the current ADT. It's running great and again I'm enjoying it .   Thank you, so much.  Rudee

Thanks so very much for the prompt service , I love my watch and love doing business with your company .   Mike

I received my Bulova Space View in good order. Your firm 'Old Father Time' did a fine job of restoring my Accutron. Now it will be a fine heritage piece to pass on! Thank you to your meticulous technicians. Mark

My Accutrons arrived at the office last week.  I picked them up this morning.  Thanks very much for the great work.  My Accutron came back today and it seems to be running fine.  Let 's
 hope what was fixed remains “fixed”.  Thank you for attending to the matter promptly and with courtesy.  Much appreciated!

I just received my Bulova Accutron Astronaut watch, shop order 9735 and could not be more pleased. I saw on your web site that you occasionally come across original watchbands. If you ever get one for my watch please let me know, I would be interested. Thanks again.

Thank you for all you did to restore my watch.  It
 beautiful!  What a great way to relive the past.  About how long will the battery last and are replacement batteries easier to find?  Leon

I've received my Accutron.  It turned out great.  Many thanks,  Steve

After researching, I decided to send it to OFT.  I was impressed with the OFT details on how to ship my Accutron.  My responses from OFT were quick and the quote for repair arrived promptly.  I signed the Estimate in mid-June and expected my watch returned in early to mid August.  I exchanged several emails and always received responses the same day or next day.  I was surprised to learn that my was was ready to ship in late July.  Wow, a quick turnaround that let me take my watch on vacation and share the restoration with my father.  From day one, my Accutron would lose about three minutes a week, and now it appears to be keeping excellent time.  I can't say enough on how happy I am with the restoration of my Accutron by OFT.  It
 great to hold my Accutron to my ear and once again hear the hum of the tuning fork.  The photos I've included do not do justice to the restoration.  Kurt, Maryland

Just a note to say a Super Special Thank You for restoring my baby.  Except for bathing and sleeping, it has NOT been off my wrist for 1 second!  I got the 4 ounce, 18 ct bracelet put back on and took a photo of it for the jewelry records and attach a copy of it so that you can see the "complete" image.  It is just stunning and I am famous for having worn this watch for 43 years through 2 law schools, the local Court house and all over the local legal and real estate community.  Have had compliments on it, forever.  Even from other watch salesmen and jewelers.  Thanks again for your skillful and diligent work .. and please pass on my deepest gratitude to your marvelous watchmaker.  Best, Bobby from San Antonio, TX
