Beautiful dial and hands! Crown looks to be in great shape too. Very nice vintage piece. Good for every occasion.

It would be great to refinish the plating on the case.

I used to have a watchmaker who was a metallurgist by trade and would re-plate any of my vintage cases. They would come out gorgeous. He would sand off plating, drip silver solder on any nicks or dents, smooth out and re-plate the gold. He was even able to massage out all the dents on my great grandfather's 14k pocket watch case. Too bad he retired.
