I love the Super Compressor cases made by Erwin Piquerez in the 60s...

...and Aquastar is one of my favourite brands ( I own a Deepstar, a Seatime three others and this one ). It came from eBay in Spain. The watch was in superb condition, only the lume was weak and the movement needed some servicing...so let's start working...

Here's a pic of the relume process...

Thanks for the review! A complete overhaul...are you a watchmaker?
Do you have some "tips and tricks" for the relume of markers on the dial?

I'm an amateur with good watchmaker friends to ask for help and advice...
