There's been a quiet update to the Tudor Fifty-Eight. Lume and tube height look to be improved.
Here are 2 QC shots from Puretime. Purchased by 2 different members within a few days of each other over on RWI:

Ruby is a pleasure to deal with compared to MQ. Cheaper too. She’s currently listing the following 1665 dials: http://rubyswatch.com/Products/parts/sub-1665
The crystal is distorting the Rehaut. It would be worth changing it. I used a GS PA 462-66 from Ofrei. If you go to post #24 in this thread, there’s a link to a side-by-side comparison of a Clark & CWP T19 crystal too. You’ll see what a difference the crystal can make to the look of the Rehaut.
You’ll find MQ here.

I wasn’t happy with his service or quality of the case I bought from him last time. I wouldn’t buy from him again.
Don’t think you need to do much at all to the watch, just a little insert ageing. Most gens still in existence don’t look like they‘ve seen much action. Less is more [emoji106]
Very nice! So pleased to see a decent 5517 insert at long last!! Thanks for the shots. Looks good now, it’ll looking great after you done the subtle ageing [emoji106]
Very nice spec! I’ve got a Yuki second hand on there, changed it so often I’m beginning to loose track. Had to shape the tip slightly too, rather than the tail.
