Very fine scratches all around, and the rhodium plating on most of the screws are gone, plus that screw around 11:00 where it looks like someone tried to electroplate - but man look at that dial!

Off to the watchmaker to sort this all out!

Entirely agree with @watchknut

Don't piss about with an 'independent'…( although I understand you want to save money, where possible )

Send direct to AP………and let them sprinkle their magic dust over it

If you buy a 'Premier League' watch… You can't just avoid the due membership fees to restore, & maintain it
