On request: Just a tiny refresh of a old watch>>>>>
Here is how it looks when I got it.
  Some dings and marks all over it.   Nice crown but well used.  So I start to open it up.  The movement is in great condition.  Here we go a little closer.    The dial is in good condition too.      The case have lived a hard life.   So I have to do some work with it.   So here is some equippment.  So I start to grind the case.  The backside need some work, itīs not my name engraved.  So I have to pul out some serious tools here. LOL  Donīt call me a sissy. LOL  The first step is over.  Now I pull out this little nice sandpaper sponge.  And the final result of the backcase.   Now I will start up my home made polishing machine.  And do some work.  Now I have done some polishing but I will not get rid of all marks. If I try that, the case will not looks nice.   Now I have to mask the bezel when I will brush the lugs with the sponge.   Now it start looks real good in my opinion.  So a new crystal, a strap and a clasp will do it.    Then the final work, just enjoy.     I hope you find this tour interesting. Jocke
