marrickvilleboy Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hey guys, So I was fortunate to pick up two of these watches - both non runners, one with significant rust. Here are the original pieces as they stand, I will post the pictures of how they have turned out shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 A quick update. Here's the result. I've ordered a bezel insert for one of them as the current one is busted. Otherwise, not bad outcomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marrickvilleboy Posted June 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 thanks guys. It has been difficult to be honest. The bottom one needed: - the dial minute indices repainted (the outer edges were rusted and the dial had water damage) - I fixed that but spray some light coats of matte gloss and repainted the indices with silver paint - the glass heavily scratched was polished - movement dead was replaced with new parts The top one needed: - a new bezel insert which is on its way - glass polished - movement just needed a service so its all fine now - contemplating cleaning up the lume but want to leave it this way so I have one clean and one dirty 6105 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
