How did you polish the crystal??? Is it acrylic or mineral glass?

Great looking one for sure, should bring $700+ as these are hot right now.

I echo the modern Seiko beater, great watches for thexample money.


Believe it or not, I bought wet and dry extra fine sand paper and sanded the glass slowly with light pressure, then I have a jewelers polishing machine at my shop which i used to polish the glass. It worked so well, I kind of shocked myself. Took about an hour to do, but well worth it.

Ahhh...the polishing machine! Good work, will try on mine.

A Zodiac Super Sea Wolf 53 has become my all weather watch.
I've been enjoying this as a nice looking "beater" with a vintage vibe.
It's not too big (except compared to the originals!) and is under $1k used.
There are two on WatchRecon right now.
