I recently bought a South Bend 298 from Jeff Tibbs in the used section. I had been looking for one for a while as I had a nice case and dial I wanted to put a 298 grade in. When I bought the movement from Jeff, it was running, but had a couple wrong parts and a metal dial that was not very eye catching.

I received it monday and have worked on it the last couple nights bringing it back to its glory. I'm guessing Jeff is going to be calling me now saying he wants it back

Transformation complete... Few little spots that couldn't be removed, but that happens over time.

The case is a South Bend 25 year to die for... Here is the front.

and last but not least the case back.

Simply WoW!

The case is absolutely awesome!!!

Nice restoration. Jared

That's really a nice job Jared. I really like that case!!

Regards,
larry
