I love the AOPA model. It carries so much additional history along with it being a navitimer.

If you are having a full restoration done, that'll be an awesome piece. Nice going!

You see, this is why I'm not a vintage watch afficionado as I'd be insisting on a total refurb - movement, dial, hands, crystal, case, the works..... which would obviously remove the patina, etc completely!! I think I'd better steer clear of the vintage stuff! :)

Of course, all pics you can take after the restauration is very appreciated!

Nice piece! I bet it'll be looking even better afterwards!

don't worry it is undergoing a "sensitive" restoration not touching the dial or hands.
