Nice one!
There are some unsightly scratches across the middle of the crystal (which is proper stuff, not plastic)... Wondering if there's a feasible method of polishing them out, preferably without removing it... It's somewhere around 0.12mm proud of the surround.

When I was a kid I found an old watch which I repaired and wore for a while. It had a scratched up screen, my DT teacher had a bench grinder but you could take off the grinding stone and put a buffing thing on. He put a bit of brasso or soemthing on it and buffed out the scratches on the screen. Worked well as far as I can remember.

@Kimmo Good luck with the restoration. I dabble in bringing the odd watch back to life, principally G Shocks from the 80s and Seikos of often unknown vintage. It's often the case that components from 2 or more Casios need to be combined to make a whole watch; I believe they make certain replacement parts for 15 years and once they're gone, that's it. Hope this encourages you in some way, it was in a right state when I got it, but luckily it was mostly cosmetic
