Does this qualify as a "Tool-Watch"??
I originally bought it for the bracelet and was planning to sell it again after I overhauled it completely...I changed my mind when I put it for the first time on my wrist. I wear this one really often, on the wrist it's really cool. Received a lot of positive reactions about it...
I refinished the case completely with respect to originality (obvious). New crown and all sealings have been replaced (She's "Super Water Resistent" again). I contacted Favre-Leuba Switserland for a replacement crystal...but as you might suspect they're not available anymore(within the stock of Favre-Leuba that is). So, I had the crystal polished, there were some very deep scratches present when I bought it. So the outside of the crystal is as new. But as you can see the inner-scale is printed on the inner-side of the crystal and that's been damaged at some places...a little unfortunate...Maybe someone of this forum can help me to find this crystal??
