Dan is the Man! So Professional! His work is impeccable! What I really like about him is he comes across so humble and that it is a privilege to work on your watch.

[@BlairWatchProject]

Thanks, Scott. It's a privilege to work on every watch. I am very thankful that people trust me with their valued possessions.

Wonderful restoration Dan. Always love seeing your work. I would love to see if you could take the rusted 6105B movement and soak the parts in Evaporust and try to assemble and get it running just for kicks.

[@BlairWatchProject]

Thank you. Maybe we should try with a movement that isn’t so hard to find.

[@djdelarosa25]

It would be nice to see more of what’s going on with the dial and hands restoration. Great vid, nonetheless!

[@doriangasseling]

Lovely restoration job mate. Could watch these all day long. I had one question, the "T" at the end of the model number on the dial - does that indicate Tritium lume on these? Cheers!

[@moboei]

I enjoyed this

[@BlairWatchProject]

thank you

[@tomcat561]

Wow!

[@jeffreyalbarandorivera9750]

How did you manage to restore the dial sir?. What kind of paint you are using?

No paint at all. Simple cleaning methods only.
