Hi all, thought id give you all an update on the triple calendar moonphase previously discussed here on the forum
So when it arrived I had it sent off for a new crystal and full service
and have just received it back from the watchmaker and its ticking along beautifully
unfortunately in speaking to the watchmaker the dial has been refinished
and you can see that some of the lines are quite thicker than others
the bottom register is interesting, as there is a shadow around some numbers but only at certain angles, so I'm really unsure if thats due to the refinishing or that register is actually grooved and it may be the way the numbers are catching angles of these grooves etc
the 3000 under the dial as well, unsure whether this is original or was done during the refinishing
so thats obviously disappointing, but honestly overall I've been searching for this watch for the past 2/3years now, so am really happy and I love it
which I guess is the main thing
anyway heres a pic of how it looks now
