Funny that Achim has started this thread, this one below is my Thin Arrow, refurbished by Achim (watchyouwant) just about 15 years ago! Not the same as the original posting, just another one Achim did a long time ago
Ciao Achim

You still have it ! Good on you, Franco. And that nasty scratch is easy to mask, you would hardly notice it afterwards.....you basically bought dial and hands here. And if the mvmt. Comes up as an 1953, that's the bonus. Kind regards. Achim

Not really Achim , it is a different one, and the only one I ever bought. This was was purchased somewhere else, there were no scratches or different parts, it came as it was, only the dial had some florettes of rusts here and there. You treated the surface with some mineral oil and serviced the movement. Good job!
But years, still have that , so long later!
