My First Teardown

[bluespower]

Well fellas, I finally did my first teardown of a noobmariner and I am freakin' jazzed!!!

Been collecting for several years now and, being mechanically inclined, I've always wanted to get into the guts of these things. I've been in the shop most of the weekend now and can honestly say I'm hooked. I've completely refurbished all the parts - cleaned, polished, scotch-brited and oiled the bracelet etc. I even unseized the bezel by painstakingly milling and polishing the bottom side of the ring. Now she turns and clicks like a dream. Ordered a new bezel insert and I'm planning to try reluming the dial. Then I'll be ready to put this bad boy back together.

A big thanks to Edge for providing the tutorials and confidence I needed to dive under the hood. My wife might never see me again!!!

Thanks, RWG.
