Christmas Present On My Wrist!

[bobm12]

A few days ago I got this watch -- non runner -- and decided to make it my Christmas present and sure enough, here it is!

 

BEFORE:

 

 

AFTER:

 

 

Also, expecting to finish this one for my daughter:

 

BEFORE:

 

 

The previous one had a movement replacement, refinished dial (by myself) which included the re attachment of markers among other things, restored pushers (including new gaskets and clip), fitted new stem to crown, etc.

 

The last one is waiting for a date ring transfer on the new movement and some refinish work. Hopefully by the end of today or tomorrow.

 

Cheers,

 

Bob
