I have a Breitling Sprint (fibreglass case) which is in good working order and which keeps very good time. in the early years after buying it, I was working on the installation of steel plant and although it served me very well, it did suffer a few scratches to the S/S bezel and rather less to the blue external scale.
It has great sentimental value and I am wondering:
1 - Is it worth spending money on refurbishing these case components?
2 - Are there any recommendations for reliable specialists.
The watch will probably pass to my Son when I exit!

impossible to "renovate" if the blue tachy scale is scratched, the SS top can be rebrushed.
best would probably be to try and find a replacement case, contact Lester Harrison (Lester@tridentx.freeserve.co.uk), he might have NOS cases available.
