I bought this Seiko Scuba
I bought this Seiko Scuba Mid-Size Drivers Watch (aka Lady Divers Watch) on eBay for USD 45 as a defective watch. Although it did not look promising, I bought it to challenge myself.
Would I be able to completely restore such a defective and neglected item?
The watch itself is fitted with a caliber 4205A movement. I was lucky that I already had some spare parts for this movement. And some parts like bezel insert, dial, glass, strap etc. can be ordered. They are available as original Seiko or aftermarket parts. I did not manage to get a new mainspring, so I used the old one.
The movement was so contaminated and rusty that I first cleaned it in the Ultrasonic Machine for 45 minutes. Then I cleaned it again in the Watch Movement Cleaning Machine for another hour.
This project took two months of planning, shooting, organizing spare parts. It was a true challenge, in particular restoring the heavily used case by hand.
If you like the video, please let me know, then I will do similar ones in the future. Thank you!
Hope you enjoy the video 😊
