Orange comeback

Here's my newly restored ref. 980.007 Heuer diver. It was rather sad looking with a very worn bezel insert and lume missing from the hands. I manged to track down a NOS bezel insert (not easy), and relumed the hands to match the patina on the dial. A good clean and some tlc on the movement made it run again. Next up is a new crystal. I still has the original one with some small marks. The bracelet is a very early oyster style with Heuer signed clasp. I got it with a early 980.006.


Back in service after some TLC.
