Hi Gents...
The redesign of the collection continues... and in the search for a UG (still looking for a Micro rotor) I came across this... For some reason I thought it was a good Idea to spend £75 on this... Think Im losing it :-s
As im starting to learn the ways of watch repair.. slowly with minor success... I think Ive started to see potential in some really quite run down watches.... which I normally would have not bothered looking at... think I should have passed on this....
Universal Geneve Automatic (bumper) 138SS... dating to the 50s/60s??
bidfun-db Archive: Watch Movements: Universal 138SS
As the title and glowing report so far may have suggested, the watch is not in the best of condition... its been with me nearly a week... tonight I plucked up the courage to take a look....
Ive spent a little time giving it a clean... and the watch does seem to show some signs of what it could look like...
Normally I dont look to re-dial a watch, as im normally happy with a bit of age... but this is too far gone for me... anyone know of a good person to carry out some re-finishing/re-dialing works? Ideally in the Uk...
I supose more importantly, is it work me doing it??
Cheers,
