Of course I'm only pulling your leg Abel.. that is an astonishing transformation. (I spotted it earlier on FB).

I know what you mean about 'each dial has to be considered'. It's a personal decision, and I always think that any restoration/clean up must be to the benefit of the owner and watch.
These considerations can sometimes be very subtle indeed, and I think that you have got this one bang on the money.
Apart from the fact that the before and after are mind-blowing, you are a brave man, but like they say - "He who dares wins".

Keep up the good work. :0)
