    Bought another 7a38-702a but this time fully working. Is in rough condition so decided to send both to my trusted watch hobbyist George Clarkson in Berlin to rip apart, service the good movement and build me one good one with the best parts from both.

    The one that Rob sent me from New Jersey was way too nice to butcher for parts so I'm keeping it intact. Bought it a new strap though.

    My watch is finally back from George at OnlyVintageWatches in Berlin (had to wait for complete gasket set from Adrian @ VTA to get to him). Did a great job at servicing the good movement fitting it to my better example (with full length bracelet)

    I can't be happier at my first 7a38.
    Not sure I want to get the bezel replated or replace the crystal now it's on my wrist. Maybe after I've worn it a bit
