You are very talented and have excellent choices in vintage watches.

Very nicely done.

Looks fantastic. I'm glad to see it still retains hints of its life, and isn't entirely new looking. Very well done Henry.

My central philosophy when renovating a watch is not to make it perfect, but to retain an amount of the history of the piece.. Wiping out all trace of the love and abuse it took would be disrespectful. I always leave dings, dents and dimples behind.

Sounds an excellent philosophy. I think everyone can really see how you care for and appreciate these watches. Well done!

Question for you Henry, regarding these exquisite renovations: the movement itself. I notice that you don't show any work done with that. Should I assume you are having a watchmaker clean and refurbish those? I also have a much-loved smattering of vintage watches (no Rados alas) and the movement has always been my biggest concern. I love seeing your threads, thanks for sharing!

Yes, I only do minimal work on the movements. I have swapped stems and daywheels etc, but I have a very good and affordable watchmaker here.
