You dont have to spend a fortune to have fun

In my experience, the improvements by simply servicing and cleaning will be immense.

The only way to repair that dent in the lug will be to laser it and then re-finish the entire case. That will change the entire character of the watch and leave me with a reconditioned case Conflicting with the rest of the watch’s condition.

My plan is to do as much as possible to it without severe intervention.

That means servicing the movement and cleaning everything, refitting correctly the pushers. I also have high hopes for improving the dial by simply cleaning and removing the loose material and it is possible we can reduce the effect of those scratches which by the way are barely visible under normal circumstances.

Remember my background is diamond grading, and my habit is to go in under severe magnification, then change the lighting until whatever I have found is highlighted. Kind of the opposite of what a seller wants to do. (Compare my photos with say, Phillips who in my opinion are the best auction photographers).

My photographs fiercely critical and part of my assessment process. Most of what I find many people won’t notice until I tell them. Those dial scratches for example are minimal, and you can’t see them with the naked eye.

all part of the fun. The flip side, is when I tell you a dial is clean, it is.
