  Got this 6139-8020 for the bracelet alone, underneath a discolored yellow and scratched crystal lay what might be the most pristine vintage Silver Dial I have ever seen. Perfect hand set and dial in every way. Stunning. This changed the game plan. NOS Crystal and crown and refinished pushers and seals, complete Case Renewal and Bracelet Refinish in the special left-right pattern. Virtually new again. So now with a simple movement swap since I can't service them, though I did manage to fix the chrono return spring, it is a 'keeper' Enjoy ! Click on pics to enlarge.

Well done! Sort of an odd model, but they actually wear very nicely. Congrats!

Nice restoration Jon!
I pick one up with it's original bracelet after our last discussion of this model on the forum. It's in line for a clean up as soon as I have time.

Great Plan B! I'm a big fan of that bracelet too. Actually you just gave me an idea to hunt for one with a beat up watch attached to it. I may just have to learn how to properly brush it back to life.
