Watchpolisher 0 Posted July 10, 2013 Ya u caught me I switched it ...NOT! This is my passion my determination, I love a challenge...I actually wasn't expecting it to come out as good as it did but I really took my time on this piece , I can't say I made any money as I only charged 35 bucks to do this...i think i deserved more than that ...what do u guys think? Might as well just done it for free huh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted July 10, 2013 This was a vintage gp case I did.. This watch was probably the most beat up one I have ever probably come across...if this piece can't convince any of you to send me tour watches I don't know what else would!!!! That is outstanding. I would love to see your work set up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J!m 289 Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Great work! I have an early Tag Heuer that has a very (well, not as bad as that GP) beat case that was my first 'good' watch. About 12 years of not taking it off for ANYTHING had taken it's toll. It needs the movement rebuilt (Eta 555.232) and the case re-finished; which is a bead blasted finish from what I can tell (or at least it was). Since you work in a shop, I'm guessing the mechanical work is not a problem for you or someone else there... Can you do a blasted finish too? The bezel ring is polished (again, WAS) and I'd like a new bezel insert too. I'd love to get the original bracelet, but it was a Heuer (pre-tag) bracelet and stupid expensive now if you even find one... I have it on a non-branded President bracelet and I'd like to remove the round button that replaces a crown on a gen bracelet, and polish that link so it looks totally seamless since I'll never have the right bracelet. This one is actually very close in link size and shape to the original. The original was totally blasted, but I like the polished center link look. I'd like the outer links blasted like the case and leave the center polished- should be cool looking that way... Feel free to PM me with your e-mail and I'll send you some pics if you think you and the rest of the crew there can handle it, and I can afford it! EDIT_ I do have the remains of the original bracelet. Can you rebuild it? If so, I definately want a quote on THAT! But, be warned, it is in ROUGH shape...

overclockedpc 0 Posted September 28, 2013 Is this kind of polishing something someone can DIY? I have a rep that is something like 12 years old, works fine, but has definitely seen better days and I would love to restore it's shine and luster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odyseus 1 Posted September 28, 2013 Is this kind of polishing something someone can DIY? I have a rep that is something like 12 years old, works fine, but has definitely seen better days and I would love to restore it's shine and luster. There us a guide over at RWI http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/rolex-case-polishing-37430.html I used it after I re-shaped the crown guards on my 1675 GMT. Got the specialist fine grade polishing sheets from Cousins UK and bought a bench grinder with polishing conversion kit. Takes a bit of time, but if your watch has some deep scratches and scuffs then it's the only way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mulder 0 Posted September 28, 2013 I look at the work and I am amazed at the change in the watches. As good as new. Then I wonder what idiot pays that for a watch to scratch the crap out it? If I owned a gen panerai I would do everything to keep it pristine not scratch the buggery out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mate members have sent WP watches from the EU without issue. Send it FEDEX and insure it, no problem. Trust me it's worth it the guy is good.
