·Hey folks,
I got a 2921 Seamaster recently that I merely bought for the bracelet, but wanted to get it cleaned regardless. Well, it wasn’t just dirt this time. This is how it looked:
And after a cleaning:
Especially the lug is pretty bad, obviously.
Now, I have a rust converter here and can clean the case / caseback ultrasonically. Will that do to stop the rust from digging any further in the case? Any advise beyond that?
By the way: At least the rest of the case is pretty sharp and the caseback apparently held tight. The movement is very clean and runs/winds/sets smoothly, so it’s worth saving, even if it’s just for parts. The watch isn’t close to my heart, but too nice to be given up on and also I’m curious how this is best dealt with.
Appreciate any input. Thanks a lot. 😀
