Join me as I restore this very beaten up 1970s Seiko Chronograph watch. I started this project back in March and many obstacles stood in the way of it's completion. This video documents part of that story. If you did watch the start of this project in a previous video of mine then you can continue from 24:50 - otherwise, please enjoy.
