Following on the warm welcome my Heuer 'Black Bay' custom project received a year or so back.. I've been thinking about doing another project to save another bruised and battered Heuer diver. This one was an all stainless model, and was is great shape, apart from having a warped/bent bezel... I suppose this is the sort of thing you encounter by buying from ebay. The dial was in great shape, the case pretty good, with a few knocks.. but the bezel was unusable.. when rotated it would come off the case, due to the warping lifting the retention spring/wire.

I did have a spare gold plated bezel.. which a knackered insert, so I removed the insert, and had the bezel blasted back to the steel, I sharpened up the beveled edges, and polished it.. then modified it to fit the green insert - in the same way I did the red 'Black Bay' custom. I also had a super thick 4mm crystal fitted. Then fitted a brand new aftermarket oyster.. I was going to fit snowflake hands, but the originals were in such stunning condition, I couldn't do it, and I'm glad I didn't.

Even I'm astonished by the result.. and I have to say.. it's equal if not better than a standard 980.006.. it really is a awesome looking thing. I think what really sets it off is that the old Heuer lume is greeny - it totally compliments the bezel.. it looks like it was designed that way.
Big thanks to Jimbo for fitting the crystal.

I present the Heuer Diver Professional Lunette Verde.. hope you like it.. I do!!
