Interesting. The problem is someone is going to buy it and drop it in a Unitime or 66 26 case and a few years down the road it will reappear and we'll all be talking how it's the missing link that joins them all together. :roll:

Here's my one. As you can see, the dial is in a poor condition. I don't know what to do with it right now. A problem seems to be the fingerprints on the dial.

The fingerprints would indicate to me it's dirt on the dial. I'd try a gentle dishwashing liquid, or something mild, and see if they'll come off. It's not an intricate dial design so might clean up pretty easily.

Thank you, I will give it a try. I need to find a watchmaker who can do this for me. Another watchmaker has tried to remove it with a rubber, without success. He said, the fingerprints were acidly. The movement is ok...
