·Hi all
I've picked up a 14701 that spent a while in some water, completely rusted out. I have cleaned the movement and have replacement parts for that, but the dial was pretty badly damaged. It was covered in red rust and most of the dial markings have been removed.
This was a radium dial but has had the radium removed.
I am wondering your thoughts, do I bother bringing this dial back to life in the watch or is it too far gone to be desirable to anyone? If not I'll just let the rest of the watch sit in my spares until a new dial turns up one day or I need the other parts.
Keen to hear your opinions on what to do here!
