Re: 980.006 diver restoration before and after

Looks great man.

: I just wrapped up restoring a 980.006 quartz diver. I bought the
: watch as a non-runner off of ebay with the intention of getting
: it going and wearing it.

: First I tested it with a new battery with no luck. So I dug into my
: spares and swaped the coil from another movement and bingo it
: works. Once I had the movement going I pulled the hands, relumed
: them and cleaned the dial up a little. Next I took the case
: apart, cleaned it up and refinished it. With a new crystal and
: gaskets she is ready to go.

: At first I wasn’t going to replace the bezel but now that its all
: back together I think I’m going to try and find one in better
: shape. Anyone happen to have a spare?

: Overall I’ve been very pleased with the results.

: Eddie
