Thank you, so I am assuming it's just a 1970's mass produce budget watch ?

It really has took my fancy as I don't own anything like it and it works very well, I don't think it has actually been worn very much as it's in excellent condition.

I can't find any reference to it on Web so I don't even know if it is the original strap but have no reason to think otherwise.

Will it be an original Duward as I can find reference to that and something similar but not sure ?

Obviously the day is in spanish, was it made for the Spanish market or south America ?

Thanks, Chris.

Think the correct name for this watch is Aquastar . Aquastar made them. And then each country rebranded them with there own name. Duward is a Spanish watch company. If you google Aquastar you will find such fine makes as Tissot and Heuer . Great looking watch.

      I would try the vapour treatment very simple just a simmering pot of the stuff and jewels bluetacked ( not whitetacked this time, you still haven't said if I'm forgiven yet 🙂 ) to the underside of the lid. You're now gonna tell stearic acid can be highly explosive above 90° C 🤣

      I guess it also depends on the precision and quality of the watch. He works on vintage watches mainly and surface treatments on 50 - 60 year old watches probably isn't going to make much difference. I read about nano coatings for car finishes. The article claims that nano coatings can reduced the coefficient of drag by 5%. Is that number significant? I don't know. Maybe if you were trying to break the land speed record. But applying that on a 50 year old clunker isn't going to make it go any faster, accelerate better or save on petrol. 🤣

      😅 yep certainly overdid it , i wasn't sure if i had enough heat so i went out and left it cooking. You can see the thick frosting, bit like my cherry buns.

      5 hours! You have slow cooked it! It must be really tender by now. @nickelsilver posted about his Greiner machine a while back. It had a heated chamber of stearic acid to epilame jewels and it only took 60 seconds. I've tried stearic acid dissolved in ethanol with a flake of shellac. I'm not really convinced by my test results. I conducted a side by side test by coating a mirror with a stripe of stearic acid and putting several drops of 9010 on the treated surface and untreated surface and observed it for several days. The 9010 spread out about the same for both the treated and untreated surfaces. I spoke with my mentor recently regarding epilame and lubricating pallet jewels. He has stopped doing both because he finds no significant improvements to the end result.

      Can anyone identify what this is?

      Used with the correct fitting staking punch it will remove the roller.
