The minute hand break , he stabilised the existing radium and filled with radium colour toned to match ( he usually won't as he hates the stuff , but made an exception because of the watch ) The second hand we found a good used one that was an almost identical match . , pop he hollowed out and refilled at same time .
The mind blowing bit for me was the seals , it's a 66 year old watch and they were all actually good and could have easily been re used !!!! Running at +4 secs a day now ! |

An amazing story and one that I guess we would all hope to discover and be part of.
What incredible provenance. The watch looks stunning, full respect to the person(s) who undertook the work. Thanks Jed
