Caring for a vintage watch

[Submariner_5513]

After close to a year of dealing with a difficult to rotate bezel on my 5513, I finally worked up the courage to pop off the bezel and tension spring in order to give it a good cleaning. It worked like a charm! There is nothing more satisfying than being able to fully utilize a vintage watch for tracking elapsed time, as this is a function I find myself reaching for regularly. It was also interesting to see the watch “naked.” Without the bezel assembly, that T19 looks huge! While more often used for timing pasta then decompression times - I can still pretend its a tool watch.
