: 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!!
