MicroTig welding. We are really really far from being proficient so using this method for restorations is in the R&D phase. There a good chance it might never be viable but I think it shows promise. For now its just practice practice practice at the home shop in the garage. The unit I’m working with in the Pro-Fusion dual arc unit. Who knows, someday we might use this to push the limits of what is possible. 🤞🏻 Do the right thing.

I’m really surprised that we still have this Submariner available for sale. When taking in this piece for consignment, I saw a fantastic starting place for anyone looking a piece with the intention of restoring. This could also be a lesson/guide of what attributes to look for when purchasing a watch with the intention of restoring. Here is what I saw: Ph 1 &2: Nice long lugs (with good width) that extend well beyond the end pieces. I like viewing this from the bottom as the top angle can deceive the eye Ph 3: Nice thick crown guards that reach well into the winding crown Ph 4-6: Looking at the lug holes as a reference, nice long lugs that extend well beyond the lug holes. Things like nicks and abrasions are simple to fill and repair by adding new steel. Thin or short lugs and crown guards are much much more laborious to repair and very costly. Having good beef in the lugs and crown guards is a great starting point. Also take a good look at the dial and hands in good natural light and under UV. Do the right thing.

It takes nerves of these to remove these Daytona bezels. It’s not hard but one has to be really really careful. Unlike other ceramic models there isnt the steel outer ring to protect the insert. Pressing it back on takes a bit of concentration also. They can crack quite easily when done improperly. 😖 The only bezel that makes me more nervous are the brown PM daytona inserts. 😖😖😖.
