I wanted to add a few more pics showing the before and after movement

being refurbished. This is were the worn out brass bushings (which is the

actual mainplate and bridges) are bored and then replaced with much stronger

Beryllium bushings. This process allows the watch to run for many, many more years.

Lastly, you can see the minute hand is missing a portion of Tritium. The client

went back and forth on leaving it alone, or, having us surgical go in there and

match the overall color of the Tritium.
