·Hello all from the office here in Victoria BC Canada , very much appreciated all the advice I’ve has received over the years on this heirloom piece of my late father’s I’ve been attempting to restore with various degrees of success.
A brief backgrounder on it… prior to his passing my father’s wishes per his estate my younger brother Michael inherited the piece .
He admired it immensely to the degree that was his daily wearer. I remain baffled that anyone would wear a watch of any piece to a commercial shipyard, but there we are.
Inevitably, it was broken. Happily as one might expect . The bezel & spring were lost to sight in the slipway … I can only imagine the frantic search in the muck & ooze… let’s not!
Shortly after, Mike passed suddenly to our family’s dismay, a loss that will remain.
As his elder brother it fell to me & the family to settle the estate as it were & the search was on.
15 years now & it’s been a source of irritation… I’m generally good with this sort of thing but clearly it’s currently beyond my imagination or resources.
Let’s start here while I have breakfast…
