    Bit of a 'barn find' this, has sat in a drawer unloved for almost 40 years, just stuck a new battery in it and it's ticking away merrily

    That's a nice piece. I'm still trying to find an Accurist diver's from the late 80s that looked a bit like a Tag. I had one but can't remember what happened to it. Lovely thing. Can't even find a photo of one.

    Clearly the owner regarded the watch as an item to be used, and not as a piece of jewellery. I too have my suspicious that it is the same bracelet - some of the scratches and dings are too deep to have been removed just by cleaning in an ultrasonic bath followed by polishing.

    I usually get my Rolex serviced every ten years or so. Each time it comes back gleaming, but then the metalwork will have only suffered a few light scratches, and Rolex automatically replace the watch glass as part of the service. And no, it is not cheap - I think the last service cost around £500.
