You did well
IMHO. Some cases are just so messed up that a fine restoration increase the joy for the owner. I have a chrome plated chrono with a nice dial and movement. But the case was poorly re-plated. Could you share the info of your watchmaker with me by PM, pease...
Agree!
Restorations can be tricky. Especially with small brands such as minerva...The case was repolished to it's original finishing and using rhodium, wich should last longer than regular chrome plating. I'll pm you with the watchmaker details have a nice one!
Thanks for the info David!
Rhodium? That sounds interesting! Must look great in the flesh! Enjoy your beautiful watch. René
