Modern for me and vintage for Dad as the girls shopped.

Love that Red Joe.
Started off with Two Tone Tuesday but picked this up.
At the office so not much time. Little detail with a Dremel and polywatch and looks much better already. Actually better than expected. Probably just do a light brush and polish, replace the hands, replace the pearl (or maybe use my other mkiii), and put a proper dome plexi on it.
Bracelet is pretty worn out not even sure if MY can save it. Overall pretty happy with it.

Little more work on her this morning. Refinished the bracelet, changed the clasp and fitted the end links better until I send it away. I found a matching set of tritium hands 👍🏻. Anyone have a spare tritium pearl they want to sell?
She is getting there.

Just bought a proper domed crystal for it too. Just waiting to get it swapped.

9mil serial 1016



I am trying to figure out how original it is though. Seems the crystal was swapped out at sometime since it has the flatter service crystal. What do you guys think?
