My recent restoration project. BEFORE and AFTER.

[YuriyV]

SW 72B completely restored.
Runs +/-2 sec a day.
Now on my wrist. :-)

Wow! Amazing difference.

Was all that crap on the crystal and not the dial? Nice job on the bezel.

[YuriyV]

Yes, the crystal was all scratched and heavily covered by deteriorated gum or some sort of resin.
In addition it was cracked. So I just replaced it.

What a superb job!

[YuriyV]

Wow! I wear this watch about two weeks. Amazed how accurate it is! One second a week!!! It is a chronometer!

HOW did you do that?  Was the work done by you or do you know a guy?  My jaw would have hit the floor if not for the laws of physics.  That is simply amazing, especially the bezel.  I have an older Sea Wolf with the bakelite bezel and I keep toying with having it restored; it currently looks like it's been through a war.

Your watch is simply amazing.

I do it myself as hobby.
Actually nothing special. Replaced the crystal and crown with NOS parts.
Gave a good cleaning for bezel and case. Did not buff. New gaskets.
Movement completely overhauled.
