1675 Restoration Complete
This s/n:3.3mil GMT arrived in pretty good shape. Following a CLA, all it required was an appropriate period correct bezel insert. (Frankly, I can't believe what inserts are going for these days!).

Managed to pick one up that ticked the right boxes...and voila!

Now to move onto the next project.

Nothing beats the vivid colors from snowman insert.

He's referring to the shape of the number 8s. They look like a snowman.

You'll clearly see it here, top is a service insert, bottom is the real McCoy.
