It's been a number of years, but I had the old Lanco cleaned, oiled, and buffed.. She looks pretty good...
This watch is 43 years old...
Lanco was a well respected Swiss Watchmaker from the mid 1800's, and became part of the SSIH holding company in the 1930's, along with Omega and Tissot, among others..... So this one resides in the Omega Box..
It sports a complete disassembly, rebuild and lube job..
The dial shows some wear as this was a daily wear for me in the late 1960's. The dial was only given a light clean-up and the hands untouched. The original lume has aged nicely.
Sporting a new Hirsch Leather Strap and 14k gold deployant clasp...This one is ready for a night out..
Here are a couple of before shots on it's solid gold Alaska Nugget bracelet.
