I got a "new" watch last week(lots of pics)>>>>

[Jocke]

It´s a old one this time a Oyster Imperial with a small second
hand made in 1945.

The watch was in bad shape when I got my hands on it
and here is how it looks.











So I have to open it up too.












So I have to pull it apart and take a closer look at it.











There are some serious marks here.







And here are some new parts.









Lets the work start.





Not nice backcase



I have to do something about it



No girls here.





Now it looks great



My home made polishing machine.











And the final work.



I hope it was worth waiting for.

That was just more response than I have expect and
you all are too nice and great with your comments.

I can see you love this kind of stuff so I will document
next time again when I get myself a bad looking watch.

Thank you all for your comments, with this response you
have made my weekend.

Thanks again.

Jocke
