Reviving a Cal 911 Flightmaster

I recently bought this watch at Bonhams auction house, London-England. The watch looked desperate, to put it mildly, but I had read of a guy called Rocco, who runs a firm called Watchworks. I have seen a couple of watches that he had revived from the dead...  

I just love stories like this! . . .

. . . restoring a haggard Flighty to as-new condition is an exercise that appeals on an almost subliminal level. It's as though the watch is getting a second life. Nice job on the part of your watchmaker, and thanks for sharing. Cordially, Art

AMAZING
