5513 meters-first Sub restoration: before-and-after

I picked this up locally over the summer and it needed some TLC. Just for fun, I decided to do a bit of restoration on it, including case and bracelet refinish, new crystal, and movement service. I thought people might appreciate seeing some representative before and after photos in case they considering this type of work.

Edit: Actually, for full transparency, it's not the same bracelet in the before and after shots. I did have the original C&I bracelet restored, but I put it on my 1675, and put a 7206 on the 5513. :-)

Before:




After:
