form my safe and just went to my watchmaker 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.

The Dremel machine will get the polishing.

And the sandpaper sponge will do the brushed finish.

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.

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