My first Citizen Diver Restoration

I've found it at the local flea market, one of the sellers there I know for years
and he was saving it for me after buying it from the original owner.

According to some Google reasearch, it is a 1977 model.
The movement is a Citizen 8210A, Model # is 52-0110.
I like the design and it feels very well made

This is how I got it:

I've opened the back and discovered a clean movement and a fresh gasket.
The original owner was somehow connected to watches (so the seller told me)
so I assume that he took care of servicing it properly.

The dial itself is in good shape, not including the luminous material
that deteriorated over the years. Hands are in bad shape too.

The crown is taken out when pushing a little crown release button.
I was surprised to find out that the crown has 2 gaskets:
one is inside the crown, keeping water out when tightened,
and another one inside the case tube!
I've found both in good shape, pliable and quiet fresh.

Now for the re-luming. A lot of material has to come of...

Just like a Seiko 6105 dial, it's easy to fill those indices with new C1.
Note the logo, it wants to break free :)

After curing and resetting the hands (relumed too, sorry, no pics)

Cleaning the bezel and case

And... it's ready for some time telling :)

Is the lume there? yes!

Mmmm, what shall it be, Oyster bracelet or Bond nato?

That's it, I think I'll keep this little beauty for now.
Thanks for looking,
Galpo
