    Back home: 39yo monocoque titanium case 600m hi-beat automatic diver...

    ...aka Grandpa Tuna Seiko 6159-7010 is now back at home after spending a few days with Duncan aka Cannop who kindly offered his help to replace all gaskets and the crystal and fixed a couple of small issues.

    Here are a few pics taken by Duncan with his kind permission:

    Before:


    Let the work begin...















    ...reassemble...









    ...pressure test...













    done!



    Of course it's far from being perfect but I don't really care and now it's back at home and hopefully won't leave me for years to come...





















    Thank you very much Duncan!

    Thanks. On the pics above its on an Isofrane rubber strap. Very comfy! Although now I put it on a DAL0AZ rubber strap taken from a sbbn007 300m Tuna:





    I guess I'll be playing with a few different straps today...
