Coming Soon

Some new restoration projects just showed up on my doorstep. Let take a look…

First off is this nice, basic Bulova. Thus one won’t wind or set, so I’m expecting to find a bit of carnage in the keyless works. I have my doubts about the originality of the hands as well, so I might replace that red second hand with something that looks more “correct” on this watch.

Next we have… another Bulova! This time with a black dial and a stainless steel case, which is nice. Looks like those hands will need some work, though - I see some restoration and replating in their future.

Last, but certainly not least, we have something quite special - a very cool 1950s Girard Perregaux automatic. This one acts like it wants to run, so I have a good feeling about the movement. The hands need to be re-lumed, and the stainless steel case could benefit from some TLC, but with a fresh crystal this is going to be a real looker when I’m done with it.
