1966 citizen 0201 movement newmaster
Bought for about $10 in a dodgy area of Jakarta over Christmas. A quick clean and lubrication added about 100+ on amplitude and a good gift for someone. Might want to get a new crystal. Also the setting Lever spring broke so no setting of time. But it is on the way.

I think the next step is a polish of the case and all its other parts. The lume on the hands perhaps needs to be redone and the acrylic crystal to be replaced. Then it will be a good gift.

I just removed a cyclops with a torch and feel like I split the atom and deserve a parade. Baby steps: polishing the case and replacing the bezel insert are next.
You are the real thing. Hope to learn a thing or two by following this restoration.

Too kind. I muddle my way through. The first time I took off a cyclops, I accidentally on purpose touched the glass a little early. Lesson learnt
