You’re on a roll! Would be great to see before and after servicing etc

Unfortunately I didn't take pictures, I really suck at that, the dial had really bad issues like mold and stuff. Hands were dark and the movement was clogged.
Case had a lot of scratches, it's like the day it left the factory now.
The owner is all over the place now, he has become a Spitfire pilot and I caused him to stay awake because he loves it so much.
Pretty good result to me.
Can hardly believe that when I see the result.
As you said. This is looking fresh from the factory.

How do you clean a dial from mold without damaging it?
