Back to life...

Great job Craig, breathing life back into watches is very satisfying, its difficult with the cases as they tend to always be compromised from their orignal crispy state when they are very badly treated, but this is a great result when you consider what it looked like when you got it!

: This one came to me as mostly a basket case. The back had dents
: that were done on the INSIDE of the back - looked like someone
: had beat on the inside with a screwdriver. This was the most
: time I have ever spent on any stainless case. This is also the
: case that had the bad threads in the pusher holes that I
: mentioned in an older post. Had to have a custom 2.5mmX0.20pitch
: tap made to clean up the threads. Here are the before and
: afters. Craig
