Seiko Titanium Watches

Post by doobs »

So,

Thusfar, I've done fairly well buying semi-derelict Seiko Kinetic Titanium watches and rehabilitating them.

Until this one:

The loose second hand should have been a tip off, but I was smitten with the looks and paid more for it than I should have.

It shows up, and it's a friggen mess. All the steel parts are severely corroded, to the point that they are pretty much welded to the titanium that they are in contact with.

I've soaked it in spirits for a couple of weeks, to no avail.

Any thoughts about something to soak it in that would loosen the attachment but not affect the Titanium?

Thanks,
