Original decals were way too delicate, and the dirt was horrid. Stripped it right back and bought a Milanese strap.
It's okay, maybe a strap with large links, more plain and less detailed would be better. Still haven't decided what to do with the watch face, it shows a lot of pitting, wouldn't mind if an off-white coating happened to be phosphorescent, but no luck finding some good paint locally.
Also struggling to find o-ring/gaskets small enough, maybe need to buy a box-full online.
Fantastic job, and for a fiver you can't argue, but I did like the outer register markings and those numbers look a bit stranded without it. I like the strap.
Haters gonna hate...

At least the front crystal polished up well.
