Just received a watch today, though I would share. Still works but has seen better days.
Thinking I might keep it but put a new crystal on it and a strap as the bracelet is intact but tired. Thoughts?

That would look pretty cool, IMO, with a new crystal...I might try to source a pearl though.

I'd try to source an old insert for daily wear and keep the original. Will look nice on a nato.

Ridden hard and put away wet.... I bet it will look great with a little TLC. Congrats.

I might they to find a pearl and sand some of the scratches out of the crystal and throw it on leather and be done. Especially if it runs well.

Sure is a little bit faded. :) Nice one.

That's great, if you don't like the bezel I'll take it off your hands :)

Awesome! Get a new crystal and a black leather strap, it'll be badass looking!

I would keep it as it is. The crystal and bezel look awesome.

This, looks great already though.

Don't ruin it by changing anything.

Polish the crystal and wear it as is.

Or sell it to me.

Seriously, pm me if interested as I personally like the look.
