Fantastic, awesome surprise after 3 years!!
Some of you may remember just over 3 years ago I purchased a non working early 16750 as a project watch with one hell of a history. Last week I had an email from the lady I purchased it from to say that she had these! To say that I am gob smacked is an understatement, at the time she did mention that the guy had the papers, box etc somewhere but that he was getting on in age and could not locate them!! I gave up hope a while after when it looked like they could not be found. The bits were apparently all over the place in loads of different locations hidden away on his house boat! Great early Christmas present and a couple of quick pics, before and after and the early Christmas presents.

Very cool! And an incredibly nice gesture from the seller to both remember and to get in touch with you after 3 years.
