Watch Description

Bought this from a panel member in non-working condition. It had a broken mainspring and some rust. After installing a new mainspring and crystal, and a thorough cleaning, oiling, and regulating, it is running beautifully. UPDATE: I have outfitted this piece with the correct hands and a band that more closely matches the original.

If you find a coloured marker the same as the numbers you might be able to colour them in and still retain the luminosity.
