    In this restoration of a gold Seiko watch I restore a Russian family heirloom. Sent to me by my good friend Lana this watch was just about still working when I received it and pretty beat up. Svetlana wants to wear it herself and requested that I sort it out and put on a "lovely bright pink strap". Mission accepted.
