Hello,

I have a vintage watch company in Australia that I use and they are superb, both for movements, dials, and cases. They are one of two companies I trust. Given that I go to Brisbane about twice a year, its really convenient for me and I always come back with a couple new pieces. I am certain this piece will clean up nicely (wish I could say the same about myself) and I will post "after" pics when it gets completed the next time I visit Brisbane, which will most likely be in June.

Kind regards,

Pat

How are you going to go about restoring this? The dial looks great but will it clean up?
