Oh, I don't know about that, I'm pretty darn happy with my new teeth. I do agree though, that the watch is looking really good

I think I might get a crocodile style strap for it.

excellent work.  the black dialed US Time models were oftened listed on many "Grial Lists" of the old Timex watch fourm.  Did you add that seconds hand?  I think it shoould be tear drop at the end and not triangle.   No matter I often change the sweeps anyway myself. and here is an example I just finisned today. 1970 Mercury all NOS parts but, I used a black seconds hand instead of gold toned.  I think on this dial it pops out better.

Yeah I added the second hand it didn't come with one and it's what I found in my parts box lol. Wow your 1970 Timex came out great and the black second hand definitely looks better then the original gold.
