Thank you K and yeah I just asked for the case to be cleaned. I specifically said no polishing as I wanted to keep the shape of the case and lugs as close to original as possible.

Thank you. That's what i'll do too.

They had it in stock already, presumably from items they had worked on or acquired previously. My understanding is that STS have a database with photographs and info for every watch they work on so have a pretty good idea of spares etc they hold - I guess the kind of system @Archer refers to above...

When I enquired they were the only company who said they could replace the marker and when I spoke with the MD to fully confirm he was very confident they had the right one - turns out he was right!

Also listen to @tyrantlizardrex time4apint podcast with Tony as it gives a great insight in to how the company works

Advantage of being a larger player I suppose! Nice work!!

Advantage of being around for a really long time, and consistently doing a good job... 馃槈

Wow. I have used STS many, many times but they never cease to amaze me. The level of their work and sheer ingenuity is very refreshing. Like others here, I would never have dreamt that they could replace a single index marker but yet again they come up trumps.
