Just a poor mans rebuild.>>>>>>>

[Jocke]

Here is how it looks when I got it.





Some dings and marks all over it.





Nice crown but well used.



So I start to open it up.



The movement is in great condition.



Here we go a little closer.







The dial is in good condition too.











The case have lived a hard life.





So I have to do some work with it.





So here is some equippment.



So I start to grind the case.



The backside need some work, it´s not my name engraved.



So I have to pul out some serious tools here. LOL



Don´t call me a sissy. LOL



The first step is over.



Now I pull out this little nice sandpaper sponge.



And the final result of the backcase.






Now I will start up my home made polishing machine.



And do some work.



Now I have done some polishing but I will not get rid of all
marks. If I try that, the case will not looks nice.





Now I have to mask the bezel when I will brush the lugs with the sponge.





Now it start looks real good in my opinion.



So a new crystal, a strap and a clasp will do it.







Then the final work, just enjoy.









I hope you find this tour interesting.
