In my estimation, there are three answers -- case? yes [can be restored very close to its former glory]. Bracelet? yes [same as bracelet]. Dial? no [this is likely a problem in the paint itself, not just something that can be cleaned or removed . . . bummer].

: These are large, remarkable watches. A Silverstone on your wrist
: really makes a statement !
: Clearly the spotting on the dial & the worn case significantly
: lowered the sale value of an otherwise desireable watch. IMO
: everyone who buys a classy watch (such as the Silverstone)wants
: it in at least very good condition. I figure many of us that
: looked at it figured it would be an expensive proposition to
: restore this watch back to its former glory. Whilst on the
: subject of restoration, what could have beeen done to restore
: this watch and what sort of money are we talking about here? Can
: the spotting from the dial be removed/repaired and how good
: would the case look if polished? Could the bracelet have been
: made to look much fresher?
