I looked at the other screws in the movement, the movement screws appear to match very well regarding finish and condition.

The movement is looking georgeous!
BTW ever thought of polishing and then blueing the screws?

If I think that I originally bought the movement from Luke to start a project and then changed my mind to put it back in its original condition.
It doesn't seem real to me.

Re: Restored pocket watch Hamilton 669.

Many thanks Hako mate...

I usually tend to make changes ... and it wouldn't hurt to put blue screws. But on pieces of this level I prefer to keep the original aspect.
Obviously my personal opinion.
