i really love the look of these old beat up seiko divers especially the aged bezels. i'd love to find one and keep its looks, i think that's what it makes them special.. i know it's a personal thing but it looks to me like they did do what they were supposed to do and you can see it and still use it..a good clean, a new crystal and a movement service would be enough for me. there are plenty pretty new watches but not many that can show their life and still work well, especially on these budget ones that aren't worth the price of servicing. good job with the restoration, i'm always glad to see another dead watch being brought back to life.
