What about a OysterQuartz?...............

 

Here you can see a OysterQuartz who I found in some bad
condition. He needs some kind of refreshment and here I
will show you how nice he could be.

Here is how he looks and he have a hard life behind him.

To fix him I have to get some 800 waterproof sandpaper
and I will go slowly on him with the sandpaper. I have
to go on the bracelet in one way so the lines will be
straight ahead agains the bracelet. Start from the back
and go nice and easy and very slow. You will see if you
go to fast it´s easy to get some crossed lines. When I´m
finish with that I use a sandpaper sponge who look like this.
 

I bought the sponge in a auto spareparts shop and it´s soft
so it will follow the bracelet. Here is the result.


After that I will use a Dremel machine with some polishing
trundles and some polish compound/wax to get the high polished
surfaces shine like a mirror.

Maybe we should take a look inside too?

All the parts ready to be putted together.

Then I put a new crown and tube and the final result
looks like this.

It ticks once every seconds, so many believe it´s a fake.

I hope you enjoy the tour.
