Hello!

I would like to share with you my 'new' clock, which I found at my dads house from a toolbox. It have been resting there for about 12-15 years.

Specs:
Serial number: 560xxx (-66)
Caliber: 390
Reference: 7928

The clock looked like this when I first got it:

Went to the local clocksmith with it and told him to remove the scratches gently from the glass and body and make a big service to it.

Meanwhile the watch was at the service I ordered some Nato Straps to it, because I have not been able to find the original bracelet yet.

Today I picked up the watch and it looks AWESOME! I can't stop watching it. The clocksmith really did it for my Tudor, it's good as new.

Take a look yourself:

That's a really nice watch with a little bit of patina! The NATO strap matches it well. Best, Ken

Beautiful watch, and the straps match it wonderfully! Enjoy it, and treasure it as a memory of your father...and his toolbox!

Awesome! Your watch looks really nice, a bit more patina than mine, I need to use mine a bit more to have the same look. ;)

Thanks! I will. I think I'm not going to show it to my dad now after the service, he might want to have it back ;D

Still using this watch occasionally on special days. It's a keeper for sure, been in my possession now for 5 years - looking forward to keep it much longer. Pic below equipped with Bulang & Sons strap.
