I think he may have missed one of your comments ..." I would agree that changing the rotor would of been better, but my clients have full control on what I do." ..- .
So, I guess the question is, where did your client find it..?? In a 'barn'...j/k. ??

Believe it or not, someone walked into a jewelry store to sell it.

Beautiful job and so glad you were able to bring it back to life. Happy for the new owner as well :) I know he is quite happy. Such a prime example that deserved to be brought back to life

Amazing result and what a beauty!
The difference in color between the 6, 9 and 12 markers and the rest of the markers just makes it pop even more. Stunning

there is NOTHING more satisfying than seeing a gunked up watch full of DNA cleaned and brought back to pristine condition.
like scratching an itch! |

Ugh. Each time I feel like I can live with my matte dial 1675 I see an amazing gilt dial and enter an existentialistic GMT crisis.
That’s a really good gilt dial. |

Great thread! There are other sleepers out there; knowing Mr. Ridley's skills gives me confidence when looking for them.
