maxman Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 did you clean the case back? I hope not, I wanted to see the "skin cells" Best part of the video. Mike (ps) Just having some fun Oren, It looks to be a very nice watch. I hope you enjoy It for years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OrenG Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) I hope not, I wanted to see the "skin cells" Best part of the video. Mike (ps) Just having some fun Oren, It looks to be a very nice watch. I hope you enjoy It for years to come. I did have the case back cleaned, however the repairman only cleaned between the gasket and the lip of the case back. The alarm sound holes and the edge of the case are still caked with filth. I can't help but think it was partially my fault for not saying something after I inspected the watch after the cleaning. The problem with cleaning the alarm holes is the fact that the piezo element is a single piece of metal adhered with a sticker to the back case. If I remove the sticker there may be no hope of reattaching it and rendering the repeater function useless. The sticker has a small hole that allows a pin extending from the movement to touch the piezo element. Other then that I can see nothing more to do to the watch apart from cosmetic fixes. Such as polishing the case and removing scratches and dents, removing the almost perfect mineral crystal and replacing it with a sapphire crystal. Finding a new crown since the existing one has a dent dead center on the top and a small chunk missing from the side, and luming the dial and hands. Plus I'd like to polish the whole band.

valerian Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hi Oren I like the look of your Bulova very much! It's elegant yet understated. Congratulations! The skin cells part of your video is quite nasty. Maybe this could be of some help? I've never tried it but it seems to work well. Good luck, man. Val.

Guest OrenG Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Cracks and crevices could be useful Mike It looks interesting, however I don't know if it can reach into the alarm holes and under the piezoelectric element.

Guest OrenG Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I'm surprised your video has not had any comments or ratings It's not really a popular topic on youtube, most people just watch and leave, I think that's better then those who say "I want (insert video length here) minutes of my life back."
