Watch Description

1928 Lady Lindy / Deauville

Hot off the bench! Although I purchased this watch on eBay several years ago, I only recently serviced it. New crystal & mainspring, cleaned & lube the movement, adjusted the hairspring, cleaned the dial (see the before picture of the dial!). Although the movement stills shows a lot of "tarnish" it works very well now (300 degrees amplitude), and keeps good time.

How you could sit on this beauty for two years before servicing is beyond me.  Please tell me your secret for cleaning that dial.  It came out amazing!

I first gently clean it with a Q-tip saturated with soapy water to remove dirt and grime. Then I dip it in Tarn-X for 10 seconds, followed by a rinse in purified water. Dry with air. Hope this helps.
