marrickvilleboy Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Been meaning to share this project but better late than never. Background on this is I found this watch posted for sale locally here in Australia - it came without a bracelet. It was a non-runner with damaged bezel, stripped crown and dial has seen some water damage. Picked it up for under U$500 so thought worth a fix up! Here's a picture pre-repair. As you can see - not in great shape. Here's a picture post-repair. Replaced the insert, serviced the movement (no real damage) and replaced the crown and tube and added a genuine bracelet. Hope you guys like it. Edited August 30, 2017 by marrickvilleboy images 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kernow Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Very nice. One of my all time favourite watches. Is it a keeper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deandavis Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Great job! Where did you source the insert from? Been on the hunt for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted September 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 the rep ones aren't very good so best to pick up used insert. You could also try WSO for their black SMP insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
