Looking good, gianton!

I would have your watchmaker flatten and polish the canon pin before he sends it off to you, but that's about it. Well done, my friend.

I dont think pre-v's had a polished CP, did they?

Only thing I can really tell is there might be a small gap on the top part of the cg between it and the case.

Hard to tell, COLDI. Certainly not as polished as the newer models, but they don't appear to have the mild point that standard ETA canon pins have...

coldi, i think you need to file down the CP a bit and that dial is a little too shiny for a pre-v, some matte spray will be good but that's my opinion and it depends on how you like it.

But Awesome watch!

So it's ready to go! :)

Glad I found this great local watchmaker, this is his first work with REPs done for me. He is a talented watchmaker mostly working with restorations, some of his work:

No, wait!

These are two elephants, going from left to right. Sorry, it is a bit crude, but definitely olifant.

You have elephants there, not titties. Who'd ever think of a naked Venus?

Nope. It looks like a lion head with panda ears. Lion head panda ear tities! That's it!
