Red sub 1680 restoration immersed in sea water (miracle)

[eddy@manu]

hi friends, i'll show you this restoration done to this 1680 submariner.
clock with sea water inlet and the presence of rust in most of the clock, a disaster, but I had a great desire to revive this wonderful (rare) watch because it has a noob case out of production, practically I own a 1680 Vietnam, and comparing them, this is very close.
dial restoration, indexes and hands.
movement revision with rust removal and replacement of many parts.
plexy replacement with a magnifying glass with gen.
complete cleaning of the watch eliminating rust.
wrinkle removal from the given disc.
fine work & good vision

That is indeed a nice looking case - good save!
What did you need to do to the dial to clean and restore it?
