My grandfather's 1940 Standish (in the database) has moderate wear-through in the plating on the back side of the case.
This watch is far and away a more sentimental item than anything else - I have no intention of selling it anywhere, at any price. So my question is whether re-plating the case will prevent any further deterioration or is it best just to let it be?
Thoughts are most welcome!
Hi crazypoet, my grandfather was bald, I'm sure he had hair once but I remember him as bald. I sure wish I had HIS Bulova watch.
I wouldn't change a thing about that watch.
A general word of caution though - Don't stop wearing the watch on special occasions but be diligent to keep it dry (and as we recommended before, a thorough clean/oil service every couple years).
