A few months ago I acquired a Seiko 7S26 diver that was pretty beat up. The crystal was rough, the bezel even worse and the bracelet and case showing the marks of a life of abuse. Also she wasn't running. I thought that I could go one of two ways with her. Either I could fully restore her to her former glory or I could embrace what time has done. I opted for the latter. Unfortunately I have no before pics ,but use your imagination. She's not too far off. I serviced the movement to get it running properly, replaced the crystal and passed the rest on to my buddy Eddie , our very own tedward515 to do a full blast to the case, bezel and bracelet. Its a simple mod really. Today while my wife was photographing it she mentioned how it looked like an old aluminum can to her so the name is sticking. I present the O.A.C modded Seiko Pepsi diver.
Thank you Eddie for the great job on the case and bracelet refinish.

I like the blasted finish, looks good with the wabi'd bezel.

Looks great Chris.
I like the overall effect and the jubilee looks so much better with the center links NOT shiny.
Congrats!
