    This time piece received exactly what it deserved, a world class restoration! The owner was right to keep the original dial, and quite honestly, the new dial looks fantastic! I did miss watching the case work, as many watchmakers do not perform this to the level that you do. A very good tutorial for us, such a wonderful job you did here, thank you!

    The 6-year-old's dial is fantastic! I'd seal it with some clear resin or something and wear it like that, put the original dial in a safe place. Really awesome refurb!

    I'm not a big watch head but each time I get to the end of your videos and see the final effect I have sort of tears in my eyes. Especially for those really old watches. It's like healing an suffering animal :) great work and congratulations for preserving those memories and unprecedented craftsmanship!

    Just crazy you can remember where every tiny piece goes! Your hand and tool control are ridiculously phenomenal. Taking it apart and putting it back together is incredible but the person who designed it and the people who engineered all those tiny parts blow my mind...excellent video...kudos to your skill.

    Tricky decision. Original dial and wrist watchers will think it’s a fossil brand watch. New dial and it looks updated but the resto is so good it looks brand new. Not sure what I’d do. Beautiful work!
