: I'm hoping you can rescue if from shagadelic misery...
Yes. Well, at least that is the plan to take it back to stock.
Mark is right about the elephant in the room with the pvd gone. I know the hands need to be relumed, but to me the most important thing is that the dial appears to be in good shape. A movement can be repaired, hands relumed/repainted, and a case refinished but a good dial for all intents and purposes can't be replicated. That is the key and its taken me a little bit to figure that out.
With any luck the ref and serial numbers are still there but I'm not going to hold my breath. Otherwise I'm thinking I should be able to get some really good results redoing the case.
