30 T2 CHRONOMETER - Please let me know your thoughts!

 

Hi fellows, and hello to all the "BILLs" out there!  smile

I have got a very early 30 T2 chronometer with additional "Turler" retailer´s signature on the
aged dial. The color has changed dramatically from silver to yellow/orange due to the againg of the
laquer over the years. On the spots where the laquer has broken out you can see the original bright silver
tone of the dial.
Maybe the laquer can be removed carefully (on the parts where there is no printing) to improve the
cosmetical appearance of the dial...
Usually I do not touch well aged dials at all because I know that this will lower the "collectible value" and the
price dramatically.
In this case I am tempted to try a partly cleaning...  

What do you think? Should I leave it as it is? Clean? Restore?

Thanks for your inputs!

Kind regards
Erich

You are right!

Hi Bill, thank you for your thoughts about restoration! Yes you are correct - it is an early CK 2254 with OUTER engravings on the back. The movement is without Rg but has polished teeth of the winding wheels and the same beveled polished lever (anchre) li...
