Hello Gianluca,

It is your beautiful watch and everybody has their own ideas and reasons but I would leave it just as is. Why does everybody want new looking watches?...and new looking is all it will ever be...you can't make it new again. As far as adding value...monetary value at least...I have never found that in sourcing NOS parts you can really add value. Usually if you put it on a balance sheet you lose.

I guess if the watch is more valuable to you in your heart if you make it look newer we are just have different outlooks and you should do what makes you feel good...But I can tell you that I like the watch a lot now and think it would be a shame to change it one bit.

Best and thanks for the great pictures
