Re: Came upon a (mostly) complete Cal. 12 I'd like to restor

Thanks, it definitely seems like finding a complete case is the way to go. You nailed it; after seeing Abel's work restoring this 11063 GMT, that's exactly the finish I'd like to have on any case into which I put the movement.

I'm certain this will be the gateway drug to more Heuers, but I blame my ongoing restoration of my '71 Omega Speedmaster Professional for starting this sickness!

Thanks again.
: I purchased similar Dial/Hands/Movement/Crown about 7 years ago.
: Took about 3 years to get rest of parts, recommend getting case
: and bezel together if possible. Bezel was hardest & most
: expensive part to find. I went with the 1163 V but if other
: cases/bezel come up for sale first go for it. Also recommend
: Able to refinish any case and put watch back together, good luck
: but be warned these "Viceroys" are a gateway drug to
: more Heuers in the future.
