thank you both. I consider it a job well done, then.
Daniel, I would never have thought that a good portion of my collection would have Swarofsky crystals in them either...
Where to start? If you are looking at scratchproofs a Diastar 1, Diastar 8 or 8/1s are classic vintage. If you want steel the whole NCC line is hard to beat, though hard to find too.
As Scott says, there are a lot of dodgy ones, so don't hesitate to ask.

Beautiful watch and awesome restoration that you've done!

I know this is an old post but I have a couple questions:
I am new to vintage watches (and here) and just won an auction for a silver(grey) faced with black line NCC-101, it was from a 96% seller and now I am worried about a dodgy buy. What should I look for once it arrives?
Second question, do you have any video of your restoration processes?
cheers
