    Ive always believed that re-dialling a vintage watch is only an option when one has no option, but of course the older they get, and the fact that many manufacturers have run out of dials fo
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

    There are numerous dial re-finishing houses around the world, but judging from the redial

    allers and they are few and far between. A bad re-dial with inaccurate detailing can have the value of your watch dropping quicker than a souffle put in a refridgerator! It's fair to say that

    • Have the dial removed or remove

    • Take large close-ups of the dial, case and movement - this will become clear below. Make sure you identify your watch amongst the scans you

    • Write out exactly and expressly a set of instructions in respect to what you wan
