That's a very good quality watch you have acquired and well worth restoring.

I couldn't resist it was only £10 with free P&P.That's 2 Helvetica I have now the first one has a nicer movement tho.

Helvetia not Helvetica   ;) . Nice watches nevertheless. Bought this a few days ago. I nice Helvetia Quartz with a ESA 9183 movement. Going to change the date and day ring someday. Has a strange but nice prisma crystal.

Why did i add a "C" who knows not I. I do like yours was it of the bay and if it was why didn't I see it.

* As I said a day or two ago, Helvetia's a great make. Bargain!

 

 

* And I wanted to put this post in the Helvetica font - but it's not in the forum font list!

I'll check out that listing its hard finding them that go cheap enough tho me being a tight Yorkshire man.

Cleaned, oiled, face lightly cleaned I didn't want overdo it I

wanted to keep some of its age case lightly polished. Only

Problem I had was the stem I think it and the crown have been

replaced at some point it was a bugger to get out but got

There in the end. Original strap has been waxed and polished.

I'm happy with the end result and have another great watch in

my collection to wear and enjoy.
