I have a 63 in fair condition, hands have been changed and the movement needs to be serviced.
Not sure if restoring is in ths "stars" for it.

Super cool watch which is why I have kept it.

Aquastar 63 (aka 1701) with Cressi-sub dual-dial that I scored in a poorly photographed bulk lot. Ran OK but had the wrong crown, generic stem without bezel gear provision and no bezel gear. Picked up a complete parts watch, swapped parts, had it serviced and put it on an Aquastar Tropical strap (which they still make). Also photographed/wrote up the specs for the unobtanium stem and bezel gear here (some people make their own).


The parts watch had a DuWard dial but it was printed OVER Aquastar branding. Wacky.

Perhaps not everyone knows that Frederic Robert, founder of Aquastar, is a descendant of Charles- Yvan Robert, founder of Minerva.
