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.
