Hi all.
I aquired another Monnin and it was really tatty on the pics, knackered crystal, bezel, rusty lume.
Set to work on a ceramic bezel with some special tools and then sent it off to Jim for a hand lume and a thicker crystal.
I never imagined the dial would look so new.
This one is a keeper. I'm well chuffed. Thanks to Jim for his great work as usual.

I have indeed

I'm not a massive fan of the ceramic bezel as it looks like a sub variant, but it's a very nice watch Dave. The crystal gives the dial real clarity.
At least it will never end up scuffed Wayne. Besides ive got enough to go around :-)
Ive a brown dialled variant as well because i like to mess...

That's a superb transformation, really like the brown version too.
Great work!
Good work there, love the brown!
I need to stop now. It's getting daft
Show off
Do you have a favourite?
Today's arrival is the current favourite. That's how it works isn't it ?
Looks fake to me... Bought from Egypt I shouldn't wonder!
Only kidding! Looks excellent with the ceramic
That's looks lovely Dave, was that the one on OTD the other day?Today's arrival is the current favourite. That's how it works isn't it ?
No idea mate. I've not posted it on OTD unless someone else has. I only got it back from Jim today
Unless you mean the one with the lollipop second hand. I just missed out buying that one
Love it!
Top middle full lume?
Yes that was the one!
likeness...from eBay
Very similar but a more Autavia shape to it
Here's an interesting twist using an 844 case - love the dial and bezel on this.
A good one that Thomas.
I have another couple on the way
Well saved
