Impossible Restoration? Watch This Seiko Diver’s Incredible Comeback!

Welcome back to another exciting restoration journey! Today, we dive deep into the world of classic timepieces, taking on the challenge of bringing a beloved Seiko Diver Watch 7002-700A back to life. This watch has seen better days, suffering multiple damages and daily wear. But with a little patience and skill, we'll restore it to its former glory. Let's see what we can do. Hope you enjoy the restoration!
First, let's take a closer look at the issues we're dealing with. The crystal is badly scratched, the bezel barely rotates, and the dial has lost its vibrant look. We'll need to address each of these problems step-by-step.
With the watch disassembled, it's time to start the restoration. The bezel is polished to remove scratches and restore its shine. The crystal is replaced with a brand new one, ensuring a clear view of the dial. Speaking of the dial, we'll clean it gently and touch up any faded areas to bring back its original color.
Hope you enjoy the restoration 😊
