Cleaning Time

My good old beater need som cleaning I guess.

So I start to pull off the bracelet.

And I found some dirt.

No serial, is it a fake?

I have to clean it up a bit before open it.

So I pull out my case opener.

Lets open it.

The movement looks ok, the Oyster case have keep it clean.

So I start with the crown.

Next step is to release the movement.

And pull it out.

Then I have to pull off the bezel.

And the crystal too.

Now all parts are separated.

So now into the ultrasonic cleaner.

I set it to 9 minutes.

One minute later I can't see the parts.

I know you don't need this pic but I couldn't resist.

No I have to rinse the parts in clean water.

And they looks great.

So I start to put the movement back.

And try to find some spare parts.

A new crystal and a backcase gasket.

This will be nice.

Back with the bezel.

Checking how it runs, a little low amplitude but it's ok for a beater..

And then the backcase.

Checking so it's waterproof.

And now fit to serve me for another year.
