I guess it depends on the watch and the collector, Steve. Some watches present themselves better when in pristine original condition, whereas others seem to fit into the same category as your old, worn out but still favourite slippers. I wouldn't enhance the dial or hands on this old girl for any amount, it took almost 60 years for them to get that way.
