In this video I will be restoring a severely water damaged 80's Seiko diver's watch. As usual for me lately it's pretty beat up, the case is full of dents and scratches. There's sooooo much damage caused by the ingress of water and the list of replacement parts is as long as my arm. Why bother then you may ask? Well, because I can!!

Have a look and see all the fun that awaits us in this watch. There's the obligatory case restoration, but many of the cosmetic parts couldn't be saved; I ended up having to use a lot of aftermarket parts to complete the restoration. Sit back, relax and see some interesting watchmaking skills along the way as well!!
