Very nice & retaining the story of it's life.

Thank you for the kind comments....
I managed to source ( ultra rare ) NOS crowns & pushers from a chap in Switzerland and a very good original correct T-Swiss dial from the Netherlands.
STS did all the really hard work sorting the movement out which had suffered some water ingress ( hence the state of the dial ).
3x months and 4x figure outlay for the above and it's finally project completed !

Excellent restoration, nice to see it's not been 'over done'.

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
That's lovely, well done for making it happen,

Lovely restoration, well done!
That’s a nice sympathetic restoration.
Looks great
