scorpion 0 Posted September 1, 2012 just polished the end links to the correct finish !! Amazing story so far. Do you mind me asking a question? Are you sending the parts away for the shot blast finish or doing it yourself? I have a watch that has a shot blasted finish but its not very durable - your finish seems much rougher and less likely to mark. I am pondering if its possible to have my watch either polished to remove the shot blast finish to go back to plain stainless steel or if its possible to have it done like your finish.

James. 4 Posted September 2, 2012 Stunning. No other words can describe this build. The dedication and attention to detail. The only thing you'll need is a gen movement and no AD would know the different inside and outside the case. Just WOW. I cannot wait to see the final result of this, the finished product.
