well, they once had high hopes about a Japanese president in Peru, but that didn't quite work out either : the Japan-Peru connection is probably not your best bet ...but bravo if you got the whole watch safely back on track!

Sorry, been bogged down by work, it was a matter of life or death for the watch, the amount of oil seeping out of it. So few pictures I'm afraid. The day problem was caused by the dial having so much oil on the back, it caused sufficient drag to stop it completing it's journey, unbelievable, made me think about oil in a different light. All other "niggles" sorted, either by spares en route or lightly adjusting bits. I messaged the seller asking him/her to get a new watch maker , with no reply so far.
I love my divers, apart from the 7002-700* , my dad gave me one and it's the crystal sealing ring I don't like, for all the reasons people start threads on this forum.
I've seen paint on coils before, so I'm not particularly bothered by it, and it looks old, not new, so it looks like it was put there during manufacture or very close to it.
Here are a couple of pics I managed to take

You can see the chapter ring misaligned, another fault to look for on my long ever increasing list. The hands are ok, but the seconds one was bent ever so slightly, so opted for SKX007 hand replacements. I'm not worried about originality this time, sorry.

Thank you very much for the offer! I'll hold you to that! Be prepared, every case I've got are coming with
. I'm in CM7 3RT post code, so not close, but a visit isn't out of the question. I could do with some pointers as well, watch hands are not my friends, and never want to fit for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well all faults sorted now (I think). Thinking of a leather NATO strap for this one, it came with a "leather" strap, and like it, if it wasn't built for a child's wrist . SKX007 hands fitted, I'll get a lume pic later, this job isn't my favourite at all, always seem to get them bent, skew whiff, every problem imaginable.

I'm the same David. Hands are my nemisis. I've got better now and it's all down to being gental with them. I'd like a dive watch as I am a dive instructor and use my G-Shock on dives but I've been looking at those early watches and think I'm going to hang out for a 62mas
Your kidding me? Have you been reading my Christmas wish list? Diving lessons and a 62mas (that will never happen, hence the 7548 ). What tool(s) do you use? I'm gentle as I can be, and everything is fine until trying to fit them to the stem.
