I’m guessing that you wrecked the original dial trying to clean it, it certainly didn’t look like that when it came off the watch, shame. And you didn’t seem to do anything with the mainspring or shock settings? Still, good job on the case and bracelet.
One would think that the 7009A was after the 7009 calibre but this is not the case as they actually coexisted with the watch production. The Daini logo on the case back of this 7009A watch suggests it was probably manufactured in the 80's (or late 70's) but I have a pretty much identical 7009 from the 90's hence without the factory logo.
Very good work bro. I appreciate your content. I have some opinion that I want to share. In this case I assume that you want to preserve the vintage looking of the watch. Restoring a watch as a content would be more interesting when you give more effort in restoring the "Looks" of the watch without replacing the repairable parts. In this video I notice that the case could treated with sandpaper first to make the mirror finishing finer. Or you can just use it to make your own style of finishing on the watch (like brushing). Really liked how you use your own "Polishing Machine" using modified tools. It really shows that restoring a watch isn't always use fancy machines as long as you are determined enough to do it. However, it's common to replace the damaged parts in the movement or the watch when they are beyond repairable (some cases they able to fix it, especially when working with a vintage watch where spare parts are difficult to find). The hands of the watch could also receive a slight polishing and/or new lume. Can't wait to see your other videos. Keep up the good work bro!!
