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.
