It's been awhile since I've posted one of these...
Here's a 6309-836A Sport 5 saved from the South Seas. This one completes my set of 3

Here's the before & After.

[hr]
Bad shape, Bezel scratched off, missing crown & stem, case back and third wheel broken...

I ordered the bezel from Borel back in Oct 2009 and gave up on it...LOL...It came in last Saturday ...hahahaha. Probably the last one I'll be able to get...
I found a crown & stem and case back in a lot on the "bay" and after rebuilding the movement it can now join the others that got the same treatment...

Thanks for Looking!
