Its is a dangerous thing waiting for parts for a project especially when you see something like this. Everytime you buy something like this I guess there is always going to be an element of risk, but I guess that all adds to the excitement in many ways.
I have managed to find all the parts I need except a crystal gasket, so if you have a surplus one you want to offload give me a shout.
Do any of you guys in your experience think the crystal could possibly be salvageable from the pics, I can get a NOS crystal at reasobable price so maybe its just better to go for it so at least I have it when the watch arrives. Waiting for parts is a killer and at the rate I am going will end up with a number of watches in various states of repair, or is that just inevitable ;D
