The Dead has risen..I believe
Browsing HQ Milton tonight and thought I recognized the bezel. I believe it is the same watch repaired and on the market. Opinions?

After seeing the watch assembled im blown away at the condition. Just a remarkable find that leaves me with a bit of hope of someday stumbling across a gem such as this...

Wow what a great story... a true barn find indeed.
I dream of days like this. Wonder how many "Project" Watches end up in high end retail shops ...

Wow!
Seeing it assembled blows me away! could not think that it's the watch that was scrambling around in a box with the dial scratching against other watch parts! Gorgeous! |
