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

[Jocke]

Here is how it looks when I got it.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roi2.jpg

Some dings and marks all over it.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roi3.jpg

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roi4.jpg

Nice crown but well used.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roi5.jpg

So I start to open it up.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roim1.jpg

The movement is in great condition.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roim2.jpg

Here we go a little closer.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roim3.jpg

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roim4.jpg

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roim5.jpg

The dial is in good condition too.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roio2.jpg

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roio3.jpg

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roio4.jpg

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roio5.jpg

The case have lived a hard life.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roio6.jpg

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roio7.jpg

So I have to do some work with it.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roio8.jpg

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roio10.jpg

So here is some equippment.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/imp1.jpg

So I start to grind the case.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/imp2.jpg

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

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/imp3.jpg

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

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/imp4.jpg

Don´t call me a sissy. LOL

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/imp5.jpg

The first step is over.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/imp6.jpg

Now I pull out this little nice sandpaper sponge.

And the final result of the backcase.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/imp7.jpg


http://www.watchwallpapers.com/imp8.jpg

Now I will start up my home made polishing machine.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/imp9.jpg

And do some work.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/imp10.jpg

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.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/imp11.jpg

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/imp12.jpg

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

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/imp13.jpg

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/imp14.jpg

Now it start looks real good in my opinion.

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/imp15.jpg

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

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roio9.jpg

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roio11.jpg

http://www.watchwallpapers.com/roio12.jpg

Then the final work, just enjoy.
