We are probably all familiar with the Citizen found on the Northern Beaches and wondered what it would be like to find something like that. Well in true spirit of adventure I went looking. Online… I started contemplating getting a metal detector and looking for treasure- so I joined a metal detectors Facebook group. As you do. A post popped up about someone finding a watch and after some messages too and fro and a PayPal transaction I’ve got a few interesting pieces on my table.  |

 I’ve skimmed over the crappy like this Roflex that is still holding the water well halfway up the dial. So there you have it. My under the sea collection. I’ll be moving some of the Japanese ones on, so if you want to try a restore give me a message. I’d like to see the results posted here if you are keen. Cam |
