40s Helios Wrist Watch

My collecting has reached a breaking point in the studio, its time to stop amassing and start refurbishing. Theres currently shoes and a few other leather goods at the cobbler, more watches at the watchsmith and a giant pile of clothes going to the tailor. This beauty is the first thing to come back.

A few gems from today...
