I just received this during the holiday from Bob Ridley and did not have time to post anything until now. Some jewels were oiled that should not have been and some that should not have been were oiled. The bridge and some jewels were not at the correct depth and the registers/timing feature was not correct either.

Nothing huge was done cosmetically except a good ultra sound cleaning on the movement and case. Then the movement was repaired properly. The bracelet was finished and thanks to Don, who supplied a super dome for me, a new crystal was installed. =) maverick

Dirt

Nice and clean from ultra sound cleaner

Ready for final assembly

Thanks for the pics, that is a great looking movement isn't it.

Your watch must feel really nice and clean now, and ready for action for another 5+ years.
