Dial restoring

The dial is the same, but restored. I did everything but that. There’s a dials restoration workshop in Barcelona, GranEsferas, where I send them, and always does a great job.

The before and after makes me feel proud ...  

You can! You found a new dial, or you worked on it? The strap is top, too. [nt]

Well, I’ve done everything but the sphere that was restored by “GranEsferas” in Barcelona, and I bought the strap by eBay from one of my favorite sellers that has great things. ...  

Amazing result ! Must have been a lot of work . But how did you restore the dial ? or is it a replacement dial ? [nt]

it’s great that you saved this piece.

Clearly a different dial as differences are too many compared to original. However, great work overall. It is good to see a rebirth. Have you got pictures of the movement? Best, É. [nt]

Eres un fenómeno! How did you repair deep dents of the case?

Polishing dents!

Ey! Por fin puedo responder en espanol! Jejejje pues simplemente desgastando la capa de niquel que llevaba el reloj y dejándolo en su base de latón. Ha perdido la definición de aristas pero el resultado ha valido la pena! Hey! I can finally answer in Span...
