bigbossa 0 Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) Hi Guys Need your advice . I gave my new sub from Timeshops ( asain copy 2836) to a neighbour who is a watch guy (ex Seiko) Unfortunately he has arthritis in his hands so only works on big clocks ie grandfather . Anyway his first impression and he kept going on about it , was that he thought the bracelet was like a razor! he also felt the case was too sharp compared to a gen. I'm not overly worried but now its of course stuck in my mind . Whats the best way to tackle this? I actually took the watch to him as I was concerned about the amount of noise the rotor was making. He tightened the screw and said I had nothing to worry about although said there was some up and down movement. He was quite impressed/surprised by the movement. I have to add he was a bit uncomfortable about dealing with the watch. Eventually he was more chilled about it ...shame his hands cant cope with small watch parts any more. Any advice apreciated Edited August 3, 2010 by bigbossa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eiderdaus 0 Posted August 3, 2010 A lot of guys sand the bracelets edges. I don´t do that because after a while they lose the sharpness anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeMcNair 0 Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) personally, i would take it to a polishing wheel to try to smooth the edges a bit if they are indeed sharp. do you have access to a machine shop/polishing tools? i polish EVERYTHING in the galaxy so i would try that first as it will not take off much material, but will likely remedy the situation. just for kicks, here is a pic of a GLOCK 26 slide i did 2 weeks ago edit, that pic sucks. here is a better one...

greg_r 82 Posted August 3, 2010 Bracelets do sometimes need attention - although with wear they tend to get less sharp anyhow. Some gentle buffing of the edges will smooth 'em off fairly easily if you feel the need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avenger007 29 Posted August 3, 2010 I used 800 grit sandpaper on the edges of my 16610 and LV. Works like a champ. Add a little oil when you're done, and you're good to go. Changes the entire feel of the watch, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
