Another little donkey saved
So, when I picked this up off eBay it was feeling pretty sorry for itself. It had an incorrect stem/crown, an incorrect movement holder, a broken dial ring, awful hands, a missing seconds hand, a badly scuffed crystal and a very tired case. The previous "tinkerer" had also been clumsy with the dial so I've tidied that up too.
A service, new parts and a case restore very much required.
It's a much happier little chap now after a full service and on a nice new NATO
...and now - onto the WC Camel as the new hands have arrived.

Wow, that is an absolutely stunning watch! You really put a lot of work into it and it shows. Have a lot of fun with your watch, congratulations!
Most people would have covered its eyes and shot the poor beast. Great resurrection there and it looks great.

They go to new homes once they're done. Mostly with @Guvnor64 😉
