But the case-back had his teeth well damaged...Maybe you go for a new case-back if you find one in the future...?
Good luck Graham!;)

Believe it or not, there was a caseback on Ebay a while ago, but it went for more than $400........  This one is restorable - the grooves are mostly intact.  I have a Rolex case back opening tool, and it still works fine on that one.
The total project is going to be in the region of $675 as it stands now....:?

Thanks for the other positive remarks, guys!  I'm really looking forward to getting this all together again.
