First Look: Five Unexpected Vintage Lots From The Upcoming Watches Of Knightsbridge Auction

Chronographs are well represented, with an understated but handsome Omega DeVille and a colorful Tudor Monte Carlo, while an early diver from Longines and a rare Rolex Datejust also make our list.

Restoring 16750 Explorer II besel paint
Thanks to the TRF, I've found some good techniques to restore/repaint my Exp II besel. The overall condition of the besel is good but it looks like it was refinished at certain point during previous ownership and some of the numbers are not so deeply etched, at least to what I see.Before purchasing a new besel I will try to restore the current one. Does any of you had similar issue? Any success restoring the besel paint? A pics of before and after are welcome.Thanks!Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk
