Re: Rebirth of a Rindt Autavia
In Response To: Rebirth of a Rindt Autavia ()

I saw the watch 'in the metal' before and after MGC's work, and, as usual, i remained astonished...

I have to thank Peter for trusting in me and MGC, i can understand that sending a watch 3000 km far to be restored on the dial

A rare and great keeper now!! My compliments!

: dial and trusting him I gave it a go. Off to Paolo’s
: watchmaker Gian Carlo Martini in Parma with the grail and see
