Just arrived, this well-worn diver "ashtray", I believe from 1986. Original crystal is shot and difficult to source an original replacement, Harold (yobokies) has a dd, sapphire replacement which is on its way right now. I was unable to find a bezel insert but thanks to Artemis12 I got a NOS bezel complete with insert.
I've also found a correct crown as this is the wrong one (from a tuna I believe). The last thing on the list is finding someone to clean up the hands a bit, possibly remove some corrosion if that's possible without damaging them. Any expert advice anyone can give on this would be much appreciated.
Anyway - here are some "before" pics - hope to have "after" pics one day soon.
