For me, a pretty nice A158. I feel like Roger Moore already. Even though it wasn't featured in any of the films. But it has that feel. Needs the PVD fixed, as do they all. Looking into a source for fine PVD coating in "'Straya!".  |

Looking into a source for fine PVD coating in "'Straya!". Your example is not all that bad. I would probably leave it alone until it looked really ratty. |

Nice one...I don't see those much in the used stores but cheaper old Casios and the odd Citizen.

Peter - The buckle is all worn off, but it's not awful. I got this for $20. We need to do a $20 watch challenge, I reckon I'd win that!  |

As to the blackening; some of the gun enthusiasts on the forum can surely suggest some products that can restore the black without going to the expense of having the whole thing PVD'd again. There are metal stains that work great on stainless steel. |

Thanks guys!
Yep, all works, even the pushers feel like new. It's bizarre stuff. I have a pile of other nice quartzes where stuff is just broke. All nice cases so worth fixing, but yeah, a bugger of a thing.
