Hi, here's some pre and post servicing pics of my 1946 Breitling Datora Valjoux 72C Triple date 785 in 18k Rose gold in pictures.

Here are the pictures before this virtual barn find was serviced

And here are pictures after a movement service and a cleanup by Craig@ Chrondeco, who made sure that everything remained original on the watch while at the same time bringing it to it's former glory so that I could wear it more often, giving me a glimpse and feel of what the original owner might have felt like wearing this watch when he bought it in 1946, the pictures say it best!

Job performed: A simple dial cleanup to remove any dirt/grime/stains and a movement only service
