Very nice, is the case brass? I am guesssing so, as where the gold has worn away at the lugs, it looks like brass.. I guess that is where the term brassing comes from in watch descriptions.. |

I always found it interesting that when you see a pure brass watch case; it looks like gold but when you see a gold plated case that has worn through, the brass does not look like gold embarrassed-smiley-face I have a watch with brassing and if I buff it up ; it looks like gold for a little while...until the brass/alloy tarnishes again. I haven't gotten my plating kit yet but I am hoping that I will be able to revive some cases or at least some hands to their original looks. Sure would be nice to revive a case like that Sire  |

Always useful to have a polishing cloth handy when you have a gold case with brassing as then you can keep it looking like all gold.. This pic shows the black enamel on the end of the indices..  Cheers |

Cheers Polishes up good Tony. The dial and hands remind me of my father's Eterna...very similar and well matched. Your dial looks to be in pristine condition thunbsup.gif |
