Great pictures, great work and great result 
I have always liked the blue dial that you have, mine is the grey one. I am in the process of taking mine down to change out the capacitor and gasket. I do not think I will be taking it down quite as far as you have, but I may look into replacing the rather beat up crystal.I have a brand new bracelet for these - and as a bonus a watch comes with it (one of the ones with the rotating bezel)![]()
As far as I can tell, it's only purpose is to cover the center of the hands. I will admit, I really like this watch, if for nothing else, when the sun hits the watch, it does not cast a reflection like the ones with flat crystals. I know it is probably crazy, but while in the Marine Corps, we learned not to have anything that shined or rattled. Just a leftover from that era.If not for that ugly nose, I'd like them(seriously, what's up with the silver dome?)
Have a look hereI have been looking about, and I have yet to find out the procedure for removing the crown from the mechanism. Might anyone have an idea so I don't do a caveman on the tiny parts? Thanks very much for your assistance.
