So here is my first post...
This is my late father-in-law's Constellation, which I'm holding for my young son until he's ready to receive it.
Thanks for the welcome sir.
My mother-in-law gave it to me some years ago after sending it in for service and I've had it serviced once since. It is due for a service again within a year or so.
Have to say that I do wear it a few days a week...I can't just let it sit around until my boy is ready for it.
To be honest: there麓s some oxidation inside. The rotor/hammer is not completely clean and the outer area under the caseback too - but the rest is ok.
I think it麓s better to let it as it is - like the crackeled 惟-glass and the seconds hand...
