That has cleaned up very well, not bad for a clock heading toward 60 years old!
I do like the action of the Princeps movement, advancing 1/4 minute on the impulse and the other 1/4 on the impulse release
It is a shame your U/S chrono box didn't contain the pilot minutes dial, not all did, I will try and find mine and add a pic of it. I can't remember where it was mounted, I think it must have been in the upper cover, but not sure, it was 23 years ago since I last saw it.
I have often thought how nice it would have been to have seen it in this day and age when every phone has a camera and I certainly would have photographed every detail!
