    It's been four long months, but my 911 flightmaster finally made it back from across the pond!

    I purchased this little guy back in August for a very nice price. Of course the nice price was reflective of its condition, which left something to be desired. Wrong crown, crystal so scratched you could barely see through it, hour totalizer wouldn't reset to zero, case banged up and dinged all over. Based on some of the threads I've seen here and elsewhere, I sent it out to Rocco at Watchworks UK for a service and refinishing of the case.

    I have to say, I'm absolutely amazed at the work performed! I wish I had taken better "before" pics, because the difference before and after Rocco's work is night and day.

    The before and after shots are amazing; this man's work is superlative, and kudo's to you for rescuing this piece from near death.
