    Ok, a quick update.

    The enamel dial on the right is kinda cool. If I can get it going, I’d wear it. The 12.67z is rough and dead as a lump of coal. And probably dirtier.

    So eBay presented me a 12.67z from Bulgaria. Not cheap but I figured I could part out the bits I didn’t want. Poor pics but took a gamble.

    The one in the left shows up... running! My plan to break it up to restore the one in the right leaves me with a bit of a sick feeling. Like I’m about to do something really bad.

    Which to resurrect?

    the one on the left would probably be my choice as the solid indices and branding means you could go at the dial harder to clean it plus you just need hands the one on the right would probably flog to pay for the repairs to the other
