To see what lies under these old scratched up crystals! Some light sanding with polywatch can yield some great results. Unfortunately there's a little crazing with the crystal but it is much less noticeable when not in a lightbox. The case is pretty sweet too! 😀

I love that kind of "damage" when buying a watch 😉

Yeah, these ones are great.

I once picked up a Seamaster Cosmic for $20 in similar condition described as "Not working, might need a new battery". I buffed up the crystal, wound it up and it was sweet as.

Looks all original, insert, crystal and all, and likely unpolished case. Maybe spring bars, too. Does the locking bezel still work (meaning you have to press down to turn it)?

Bezel works well. It just needs a case cleaning and a good service!

Very nice!
