freddy333 Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Looks good. What did the restoration consist of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addingwatch Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 @Freddy - since I have no watch skills, for me it was just sourcing the parts and paying a lot of money. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just...wow. How did your watchmaker obtain that dial ageing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Looks Beautiful! Like Freddy, I'd love to hear the details. Case looks pretty pristine, alpha hands, pointer on the balance bridge... 50's V72C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addingwatch Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 The V72 movement started out as a Gallet with full plates and markings from Phong. The case is also from Phong and needs a little "softening". The dial is a custom that I acquired a while back. The dial color is not painted, but has been somehow "stained". It really looks 50 years old. The pushers and crown are supposed to be original (hard to tell, but they fit correctly). The hands were also sourced by Phong. Regards.

alligoat Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 A little aging of the case and it will be one 'top notch' watch. BEAUTIFUL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
