Wake up early this morning, so I had some spare time for "bezel ring cooking" :evil:

Some comparison pics, 5513 eBay bezel ring untouched vs 5513 bezel ring polished and "cooked" (still same process : 30mn cooking / cooldown, repeat 3 times)

I definitely LOVE that subtle "yellow/gold" color ... next month I'll try coloring a complete watch using that method

I will also do some test soaking a stainless steel piece in linseed oil before "cooking" to see what I get ... linssed oil is supposed to enhance the process so I should get a more brownish color

For a properly aged pearl you can always try what I do wich is to bore out the original and put in its place just a drop of clear resin with a little yellow and red food coloring added

Hi guys,

It's been almost 1 year since my last post on that topic.

That buils proved to be much more difficult than I thought but today I'm close to finish that watch.

I still have some work to do on it but I'm feel I'm really close.

So here is a little teaser
