This watch was purchased in 1994 after I qualified a an Engineering Officer of the Watch on a Resolution Class Nuclear Powered Submarine. It has spent almost 5 years under the North Atlantic on 14 Continuous at Sea Deterrent Operation Relentless Patrols and associated Training Periods on my wrist whilst serving in Resolution and Vanguard Class SSBNs.

Last time it was serviced by Rolex they informed me that the Bracelet needed to be replaced as it was too worn out for them to polish. At a quoted cost of nearly £2000 to replace the bracelet with a new one from Rolex I decided to see if someone else could work some magic and address the wear. After some research I sent the Bracelet to Seth at TheWatchDealer.co.uk for Bracelet restoration. Today the Bracelet came back, Seth does exceptionally good work, he does take his time as I suspect he's busy and I had to wait just over 4 months to get the Bracelet turned around.

Watch is now back together and will be passed onto my son when he nexts comes home from University as it was decided a while back it would make a suitable 21st Birthday present. I hope he looks after it.

It's incredible to think about the history and stories it holds, especially from your time serving on a submarine. The wear and tear it endured over the years is a testament to its durability and the memories it carries.

It's impressive that you found a solution for the bracelet restoration without breaking the bank. Seth sounds like a real craftsman, taking the time to do the job right. Passing the watch down to your son for his 21st birthday is such a meaningful gesture. It's not just a timepiece; it's a symbol of your experiences and a connection between generations.

By the way, speaking of quality craftsmanship, have you ever considered checking out super clone Rolex watches? I've heard great things about them, especially from https://superclonerolex.io/. They offer exceptional replicas that capture the essence of the original Rolex designs. Might be worth exploring if you're ever in the market for another timepiece.
