Nice job. It is amazing what you can do if you get something that is actually restorable. That is getting harder and harder now a days too.

[Doogie]

Thank you Butch means a lot to a newbee

[Doogie]

Thanks jon,  little bit of work involved, but i love doing it.
Will definetly post when done

[Doogie]

I think I'm done!

[Doogie]

Shoot not done. I changed the dial to black... .,thinking the second hand should be a different  color... after review all the hands are wrong for black dial.. Didn't think about that... poop

  looking good, but the black hands are kinda hard to see against the black dial. i bet there are some silver hands available out there! great looking SW!!

[Butch]

Silver hands on black dials, black hands on white dials. I bet most of us have done that man, either doing it ourselves or a watchmaker we have asked to change the dial for us. This taught me to help tell if the dial was original on a watch I was considering buying.

The watch looks nice!

Thanks guys, my first complete tear down cleaned in an old L&R master,  lubed. Need to learn how to regulate, not that it needs it just need too know how.
Turns out I grabbed the wrong hands out of the bin to re lume,  have the right hands home curing right now should look a lot better :)
