Pihlippe 1,294 Posted September 19, 2013 Okay ........ as it was said in this thread, I should restore the watch. New crystal, bezel and strap was ordered on Ebay and were received today. Hope my friend will be happy, when he gets it back. It had got a lot of beating...... Disassembled and cleaned..... The crystal reassembled...... The bezel reassembled....... Waterproof testing..... Final result.............. Thanks for looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SSTEEL 0 Posted September 20, 2013 Superb refurb mate. Did you use a polishing wheel on the case? I'm surprised you didn't renew the hands too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pihlippe 1,294 Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) Thanks u all,I'm pretty satisfied myself Superb refurb mate. Did you use a polishing wheel on the case? I'm surprised you didn't renew the hands too. Thanks mate. Did only use CapeCod to polish. This project had to be as cheap as possible, otherwise it would have been cheaper for my friend, to buy a new one. I dont't have all the skills it take either.... Paid about $ 42 for parts and think that is the limit of an old Seiko quartz.

Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
