Craig @ Chronodeco did the servicing, and for the most part, we did not do any major things. He was able to open the caseback :)

I decided not to do any polishing, or reluming, and Craig only cleaned it up a bit. It came out looking great. Here are some photos that Craig sent me of the watch. Maybe Craig can chime in with a few comments on what he saw, and the condition of things, since he dissected the watch completely!
