Absolutely amazing, Net.....SMH. It's always a pleasure, watching you work. To be able to restore something of this magnitude of neglect, is truly impressive, IMHO. As for the model itself, that dial, w/ all of it's depth and dimension, is amazing. Makes me wonder how the hands, had become as "beat-up" as they were. Do you think maybe corrosion from the gradual introduction of moisture over time, or maybe they were scratched and damaged during prior servicing??? Or possibly even a compilation of both??? Restoration is very tricky business, as you know. There's a fine line between refurbishing an item, and damaging it further, trying to make the item look as if it were, of brand new condition again. In this case right here, I think you were able to strike that perfect balance between the 2. Any idea why you think that it was not possible to get the accuracy any tighter??? Keep up the great work, Net. I'll be watching....

thank you very much. You were right, the hands were beaten up by man. That was sad. And yes, I love vintage watches for how old they look including those scratches, of course not big/deep scratches. Those scars tell stories that is how the value is held.

Nice video, I do believe you placed the intermediate wheel upside down. The tampered side should engage with the sliding clutch. Other then that, nice!

great job as usual: was not possible to get straight the thread of the crown in some way?

To my exprience, the only save way to do without breaking the steel core is to heat and bend it back. However, the heat might change the color of the crown and I don't think it would look good to the overall appearance.

In my opinion, 2 things that I will invest are tweezers and screw drivers. My practice is I don't use brass tweezers any other way than picking light parts. If you notice my video, I use other tweezers for heavy bridges and even screws for them having sharp threads. That's how I hardly bend my brass tweezers.
