Lost in 2019, found today in my almirah. Help me bring this Timex Expedition back to life!
Originally bought this Timex Expedition back in 2011. I lost it somewhere along the way, but while deep-cleaning my almirah today, I finally found it. It’s been sitting dead for years, and I really want to restore it and get it back on my wrist.
I know it needs a fresh battery (CR2016) and a new strap, but my biggest challenge is the round dial and bezel. The paint has flaked off significantly, and it looks pretty rough.
What’s the best way to make the dial and bezel look brand new again? Are there specific touch-up paints, crystal polishing tricks, or trusted restoration services you’d recommend for a vintage ana-digi like this?
