: Hi,

: I wanted to share with you my latest "barn find"- watch.
: It's a pretty rare 11630T white dial with the
: "Viceroy"-style steel hands, serial 260xxx.
: I bought it from the first owner who kept the watch completely
: original; he only had the movement serviced a couple of times.
: When I received it the bezel was pretty bad and the crystal had
: some nasty scratches.
: So I put some people at work while trying to keep the watch as
: original as possible.
: Just hesitated on the chrono hand but decided to keep it as it is.
: Dial is just superb; the lume on dial and hands has developed a
: heavy patina but is completely intact.
: Special thanks to Bernhard, Abel, Ioannis, Stewart and Jeff ( and
: maybe some others ) for their help and good advice on this
: project.
: Kind regards,
: Bernard
