    Hi all,

    Thought that you might find this interesting- irrespective of which watch brands you like. I get plenty of questions at Calibre 11 on people who find old watches and want to know what to do with them. Generally, I say "as little as possible", because 95% of "restored" watches are disasters with over-polished case and non-original parts. Some even mess around with "touching up" the dial.

    But for Heuer collectors, there is Abel Court who does great work- you can follow the progress of his Autavia project here http://forums.calibre11.com/threads/heuer-autavia-restoration-project.19419/

    Here is the before shot (doesn't look too bad)...the finished watch has yet to be revealed..

    lovely in its own right. I'd be happy wearing it with some dodgy old bracelet to double down on the cool look.
