My improved 105.003-64

Hi, I bought this in a bit of a state. I wanted to bring it back to original rather than restore, some work to do on braclet, but overall pleased. I consciously decided not to relume, think it adds character. I also bought new pushers, correct size, as our the ones on there, but concluded they would look like Simon Cowell's teeth so left originals on. That's the best chrono second hand I could find, watchmaker was reluctant to bend the end as they apparrently were, it might be 0.5mm too long or maybe if ti was bent it would land exactly where I wanted it to, it's much better than the service one that was on there.

It's not perfect, if I wanted perfect I could have bought re-issue. I hope I got most things right.

Good result and nothing wrong with preserving a watch in today`s condition after it had a life !
And a new scratch wont hurt either as it is not a museum piece so enjoy it 👍 to the max.

looks great! I also agree the darker original lume is a better fit. The chronohands can be bent, but there is the chance it can snap depending on its state, or the lume damaged if not properly held properly.

Enjoy!

Thank you for all your comments, and I hadn't seen the video, although I often go on speedmaster101, very informative.

Nice, I have a 64 but the lume on mine is a lot darker..
