I love a good rescue story. There's so much satisfaction in taking an aged relic and transforming it to a working treasure. Although i must confess i have not made these tranformations on my own, i am wise enough to have left the skilled work in the hands of experts - my own efforts have been limited to polywatch on the crystal & removing/cleaning dirty bracelets.

I must also compliment you on your choice of straps, this one suits the watch perfectly.

Thanks for the story of your watch - Darren
