+ 1 on the cleavage. :lol:

If you get that rusty pos movement running properly, you'll officially be my new super hero. The case looks awesome.

We have some parts in the ultrasonic cleaner already, first we'll refinish the big parts (bridges, etc) and then the gears.. We found one gear on the auto winding bridge with broken teeth, so that one has to be replaced :(


Running won't be a problem I guess, most parts look to be in a good shape :)

On Station...
There is something beautiful and truly gratifying to see an old watch restored with all the care and attention it deserves; this really makes me happy!

If you don't mind me asking:

What're you using to refinish the plates and leave them with that nice satin finish? Maybe just a Scotchbrite?

Also, how are you getting the lines of the finish to be so straight? When I finish by hand I always find the satin finish to have an arc from my hand movement.

I guess he's rubbing them upside down on a flat surface with sandpaper or whatever he's using for the finish. Just like doing a warped cylinder head other than smaller.

Good guess, or not?
