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.

 :pimp; 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!!

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 :)
