Hi Steve,
IMO - When I saw the first pix I thought you were winding us up. Then I realised you were serious. Looks ok but you have put up better pix than those.

thanks everyone,
well this one wasnt that hard of a job.. the case on this one was pretty good..just needed some small scratches ground out then a re-polish,also it needed a new crystal,an original thick font bezel(very rare and hard to source) and finally just a thorough cleaning..I promise I will find the before pics...I just woke up from a stint on the couch..lol. cheers everyone.. steve by the way,it only took a few weeks...the longest part was just the wait for the parts to arrive!! |

I would like to see the before pics as well. You should have a photo essay of your restore project. It would have been great. I would like to know to restore one myself.
