I have to look good when I take off to Vegas>>>>>>

[Jocke]

form my safe and just went to my watchmaker with it.

Here he have start the work with it.

And the old dial is off.

So he have to put back the "new" one.

And some parts I need so I don´t have to wind it.

I have to check out so he have put back the hands correct.

Now I´m home again with the watch and I will do some work with it too.
And now the pics will be a little better I hope whaen I got some better
lightning.

Then I put a pocket knife between the bezel and the case.

And it´s off.

The Dremel machine will get the polishing.

Mmmm, looks good.

And the sandpaper sponge will do the brushed finish.

http://www.vikbobil.se/sde13.jpg

The bracelet will get a touch up too.

Then it´s time to put it together again.

Here is the little spring I have to be careful with.

http://www.vikbobil.se/sde16.jpg

Bezel on.

http://www.vikbobil.se/sde17.jpg

2 dirty thumbs will do the work. :-) :-) :-)
