Amazing Story of Abel's Great Work

Thanks to both Abel and David for publishing this amazing story . . . it is fantastic to see how the masters can restore these beaten up old watches. A very inspiring story, of a super rare watch . . . a great way to end 2009, for Abel and David and for those of us who appreciate these watches!!

: Dear All,

: Firstly, I'd like to wish all forum members a happy and safe
: holiday season and a great new year- and a special thanks for
: the interest and support in Calibre 11, which I couldn't have
: done without the regular support and advice of contributors
: here- you know who you are and thank-you.

: You may recall a pretty beaten up PVD Heuer Monaco that I found
: back in October. Some of you know that Abel bought that watch
: and has been working on bringing it back to life (with some help
: from others, such as Igor).

: Abel has kindly detailed the work he's done on the watch here:

: http://www.calibre11.com/restoring-a-heuer-monaco-pvd/

: Its not a short read, but something to enjoy over the Christmas
: break- thanks Abel for taking the time.

: Hope that there will be a few few things at Calibre 11 next year-
: big ideas...just have to make them happen.

: David
