I have been looking at the 2998-3 posted on Chrono 24.
Whoever took the lapping wheel to this watch seems to have removed its soul along with the metal.
The side view where a brand new, but 'original to period' crown has been plonked over the small patch of untouched but pitted casing seems to highlight for me what is a wholly insensitive approach to restoration; and are those contact points above the pushers where the wheel hit the case rim.
Yes, it's 55 years old and it's got a lollipop but is there any character.
