I was over the moon 🌝 to have this WT back to my wrist ! Could not help myself in taking macro shots with my iPhone and sharing them here. I w ill be getting a much better macro lense in order to capture more refined details. Meanwhile hope you like these...  

Beautiful! Just the kind of service one would expect from PP.

They do such an amazing job. Enjoy I’m sure it’s like having it new all over again. How long was it away from you for?? M.

Thanks M.

The service time was about 3.5 months or so.

That’s very quick I would think.

Enjoy. Nothing like a newly serviced watch. M.

This kind of feeling is great…

May I know what was serviced for such WT cloisonné watch? Someday I will face the same 🙏🏻

It was a regular spa.

I do not think anything out of the ordinary is done for the enamel except for extra care.

Thanks Fab, it is now brand new with

Easy to understand why you are over the moon with the return on this on your wrist.

Thanks Rhyzen !

The 5131R is well rested and ready for action & wrist time !

Hi Gordon...

I'm assuming you didn't have the watch polished? I ask because it wouldn't have been my preference to do so, assuming you didn't then all those saying it looks like new again have been fooled buy it's natural beauty! as it would look no different unless c... 

Yes , you are correct JBP99P !

I specifically stated “NO POLISHING PLEASE”. Battle scars and self inflicted wounds serve as reminders of my “love” for this watch 😅 The statement / saying of “new” is purely a figure of speech of the movement functioning like new 🤣
