I have been in contact with Craig from Cronodeco about restoring a watch my dad gave me recently.
The watch is a 1960's (64 i think) Top Time (model 2003) and has seen better days. There are a few parts missing (glass, bezel, sweeping second hand and strap) and Craig has said that unless i can source these missing parts a restore is going to be a lost cause.
Heres a picture of the watch in its current condition
Here is a Top Time pretty much complete - this is the only picture i have found in a very long search of the net for a watch matching mine !
So, if you could assist me in tracking down the parts i need i would be most grateful. It could be said that i could probably find another Top Time for less than this is going to cost me to rebuild, if that is the case then i will probably have to weigh up my options but this thing has history in my family and that has to count towards me trying first eh !?
Thanks in advance guys, Nige
