    Hi, forum. New to old watches. Got this for pretty cheap. This thing runs, at least for a few minutes. No lens. Tried to open with blade, but will not budge............. am afraid to add any force.
    Is it possibly sealed with lead or something? Would you strip this dial or leave? Thanks for any input.

    Nice! I wouldn't mess with the dial. A watch maker might be able to wipe of the yellow shellac just make sure they don't wipe off the original lettering and seconds markers. This is going to be a sharp watch once you have it up and running with a brown leather strap. Nice find!
