I love to see a watch that is renewed to its former glory. Your case, much better, because of family relationship. My deep respects and that this fantastic watch brings to you good hours. Cheers, Nilo
Looks like new! :) Congrats! Best Blomman
. . . neither of them mine! One came from a gentleman's estate . . . . . . thru his granddaughter, and the other from a friend . . . [Omega cal 565] . . . who gave me his Grandfather's ref 166.002 Seamaster. It would be almost as difficult to part with either of these had they belonged to my own grandfathers. I love seeing resurrections of family heirlooms; many thanks for sharing yours. Cordially, Art
Thank you all !!! Now I am trying my different NATO's :-) on it !!
