Nice snag. Let us know your plans for cleaning it up. I'm sure there will be several wanting to advise you.
Remember the emphasis is on proper conservation not renovation. 👍
My plan is just a clean, oil, and adjust for the movement, for the case just a cleaning, no polishing. Probably will leave the dial alone as attempting to clean will most likely ruin it.
OK. the idiot reneged on the sale; thank goodness for paypal!
