My dad's old Seiko 7005-7130. Its from '72.
I got the watch in a very used condition but after quite a lot of polishing this morning and a new leather strap it sure does look a lot better:
The crystal is not the original one, the original one was destroyed in a crash in '75. There are a few small scratches on the dial (from the same crash) and the crown is not completely straight. But I am afraid that trying to bend it wil break it completely, it functions perfect so that is not a problem. The movement also seems fine.
How I got it last week:

What compound did you use to buff out the scratches on the crystal and the housing? Did you use any special polishing gadgets?Originally Posted by BramJ
