One guys trash is another guys treasure! when my friend Andy (watchmaker) called me to say guess what a guy as brought in to his shop my reply was a moonwatch? then my friend said yes how did you know? my reply was man you are joking! Anyway the guy wanted to offload this gem or sell it, i made a crazy offer would he like to swop for a replica seamaster couldent believe that he would accept so my 300usd rep became his and the speedy was now mine! the watch at first glance seemed in bad shape the strap is very raggety and stretched the crystal was so scratched that you couldent see the dial the case has some dents and scratches but it is over 43 years old the movement is in excellent condition and very clean but will get a full service everything works but one of the push buttons is missing i started with cleaning the watch which was covered in gunge (grease) then carefully rubbed the case with fine wet n dry paper then polished the crystal apart from a couple of airline cracks it came out ok do any members know where i could get a new pusher button please let me know also im looking for an o-ring set and a better bracelet this watch is fitted with the 1039 bracelet thank you in advance Aeromatic! oh almost forgot can any member please let me know which parts of the watch should be brushed and polished?
