Thanks, DS! That's a great thread and was exactly what I was looking for. I think that wiping between compounds is one of the keys to a good result. I'll give it a try. I'm sure people would appreciate a full description with pihotos, of course. H

Absolutely fantastic! Could you possibly post or PM a description of your 3-step Dremel polishing process? Thanks, H

That 40mm is a nice watch -- thanks for the photos. I think I want one (an 049) now. What's the lug spacing on the 048/049? 22mm? 20mm? Tnx, H

Hont has the 048 and 049 listed on his page. He's a nice guy and very responsive.

I strongly recommend the bracelet sizing tool shown in the linked article. I use one from Bob Davis (mywatchmaker.net) that is a little more expensive and much higher quality than the Asian versions on FleaBay. Bob's comes with both normal push pins and longer push pins for Omega bracelets. Ofrei sells them as well, and also sells versions for screw-type bracelets.

I decided to change my alias. I like this one better and had used the other one on the gen boards, probably not a great idea. I've been collecting watches for about ten years and on the net forever, and RWG appears to be the rep forum with the friendliest and most knowledgeable members. To other noobs -- there's an amazing amount of information here. The search function is your friend and it works very well. Read until your vision blurs before you order your first rep -- you'll be glad you did, and probably save time and $ to boot. Off to upgrade to Supporter...
