Take one seriously fecked Diesel like below:-



And make it better like below:-




Basically the movement was carefully removed, the glass was then removed quite a nasty process removing razor sharp shards of glass. New original glass sourced and then cemented into place and then pressure tested to 60metres which she passed signs of water intrusion. biggrin

And yer the after photos should show tother side. :P

That looks like a tasteless 70s sideboard.

LOL!

It's not mine I was asked to sort it.

Imo I've handled and stripped lots of watches down was a nice watch to wear with the new glass, the dial looks like mahogany, I generally wear mid 40mm-50mm size dive watches so the Diesel certainly made a nice change.

I was thinking it would match the wood found on side panels of old American saloon/stationwagen cars!

I'm very fussy with watches only usually go for sporty chronos or HUGE plain dive watches but found the Diesel quite fun to wear! biggrin
