My very first Breitling purchased back in 2001.
Now 11 years later, just before and just after it's very first re-birth.
They do come back looking really nice after a complete overhaul.
It was money well spent.

That's a big improvement, have they polished out the serial number? My SO chrono has just gone off to BUK for an estimate. If it comes back looking as good as that I shall be well pleased.
