Seiko Prospex Automatic Black Dial Stainless Steel Men's Watch SRP585

Here's a "before" photo of my DRSD project watch
I took a few before photos over the weekend as I'm taking it to my local guys who do all me vintage Rolex restoration work today at lunch. This photo shows the major problems. The bracelet is incorrect for this reference, and has the incorrect end links. The crown is mauled and needs replacing, as does the crystal....it's hard to get a decent dial shot with all the pits in the crystal. They'll do a light polish on the case - there's a few few battle scars, but nothing unusual for a watch of this vintage. I've also sourced some tritium bezel pearls, and will be putting one in the current insert. In past 1680 Submariners I've restored, I've changed the bezel insert out for a new one. On the advice of several folks, I'm not replacing this faded bezel - just repairing it with a new pearl. That seems to be the way vintage purists like these watches...we'll see if the look grows on me. This is a fun project on one of the greatest vintage Rolex references of them all! I'm hoping to

Berlich Winder Parts Request
I have three of the Berlich four watch winders, all in cherry wood and the cabinets and the new beige interior are very luxurious looking. The weakest point of this watchmaker is the gear box that the motors are attached to. Each winder has a separate motor. The motors are quiet, but after some use the gears can begin to make some clicking sounds. However, the real weak spot is that insde the gear box is a small 1" diameter rubber belt that connects to a pulley on the motor and to the first gear of the gear mechanizm. This belt is very thin, with a tendency to stretch and then slip so that it does not turn the winder the proper speed, eventually they break. I have one broken as I write this and am looking for a place to purchase replacements. My other thought is that I may be able to go to a well stocked hardware store and find an "O" ring of the same approximate size, one slightly smaller in diameter, would be less likely to stretch and slip.If anyone knows how to contact Berlich dire

My First Hamilton: Jazzmaster Square or Trent?
Hi all,I have been wandering around the forum for a little bit and have an itch to purchase my first Hamilton. I want something classy, but not too small on the wrist. I am used to 42mm-45mm divers. I love the look of the Trent but tried it on and the deployment buckle was not comfortable to me. I also like the Jazzmaster square but haven't seen it in person. Is there anyone that can weigh the pros and cons of each watch? Would you guys recommend I go with something else? Also, I have seen the Jazzmaster square for $268. I think its a good deal but wonder about the site......Any help would be appreciated.Mark
