5513 'restoration'....

[Eurocontroller]

Well this is how I got it (some of you may remember the thread:



From the caseback, turns out the watch was serviced once in 1999!!!!

And this is how it looks now:



Not too drastic 'cos I wanted to keep the watch as 'original' as possible. Sourced a matching pearl and hands, a twinlock crown and a really cool 6636 stretch rivet band with 80 endlinks.







Tried changing the inlay but it just didn't look 'right'- this one has so much character it almost speaks to you! I love it and hope you guys do too

cheers,

Nick.

Yes, very good decision!

Even if the inlay looks a little bit damaged - thats real authentic and "tells a lot of storys"!

Well done!
