• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

Hello Everyone: Cheating a bit in that I don't own this yet, but I am thinking of buying for very cheap (under $100). The movement is all there and seems to work, though it is dirty. Movement has the "SILESIA" trademark with the crown above the anchor (not readily seen in pic). The case is in ok shape, with one crack in the wood just above 12 o'clock. Any idea of the date of this GB? Is it a GB case, too? Finally, what is recommended to shine up the center of the dial? Simichrone comes to mind, but lots of nooks and crannies to get into. Maybe I just leave it alone? Thanks.
