[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3854785, member: 24867"] It cleans up pretty nice!! The faceted crystal really is something else on this watch. It distorts it in the photo, but when viewing it while wearing, everything is easy to read. Pretty cool I think. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1662843202550.png"]301794[/ATTACH] After 4 weeks of international shipping time, the bezel for the 1974 Seiko 7006-8190R arrived today.
