Back from service. Thanks to a heads up from a fellow member (thanks again, Sir) I managed to find a set of hands. Still looking for a correct crown.

Watchmaker did awesome work cleaning the dial.....

Hi @Pahawi

I loved the watch in as found condition... ( but that is me !!! ) . It would be great if you can tell all of us what was done to the watch .and what was done to the dial !! hands look great !!


I always loved the JUB .... i had 36 mm and now @MSNWatch has it ... until I came across a 2499 ( 34 mm with a 28.10 JUB) ! and only 2000 made...

On a side note does anyone have a set of papers for a JUB? I bought one years ago.... for a 30.10 JUB will find it and post it one of these days..

Great watch .... great story ... looking for the repair report...

Good Hunting

Bill

Thanks for the kind responses, all.

I asked him how he cleaned it, but he would only tell he gave it a "special bath". He said it was quite scary for him as things can go very wrong, but his father, a watchmaker for decades, said it was the only way, so he eventually did it. There's small remains around the logo and the markers, but he said he had a feeling it was time to stop....

Bill - looking forward to see your JUB papers.
