    Coz @khmt2 wont want to part with his anytime soon, I took this up as a project.

    Dial is pretty gone, so if anyone has any pointers to a new one, I would truly appreciate it. Movements are fine (wheel oxidation but not rust) while case can use some expert re-polishing, Abel court perhaps...

    I wouldn't write off this dial. Not pristine by a longshot, but not a disaster either.

    Congrats E! I was very close to pick this one up back in March, but I went with my Jaeger instead!

    Keep us updated if you decide to go to Abel for the case, heard he has quite the waitlist though!
