Thought I'd give a quick update on this one today,
I have been trying to make some time to do the refinish on the watch especially the bracelet so between decorating the house and work I found a couple hrs free today so off I went!
My main reason for wanting to do the refinish is that the bracelet had some really sharp edges on it on the underside of the links so when I have been wearing it it chafes on my wrist, not good, so I started by filing away that sharp edge with a nail file one link at a time (tried a few ways with my dremel but kept catching it on the shiny edges) took a good bit of time but after about an hrs work it was nice and smooth!
Next I refinished the bracelet with a scotch pad and cape cod for the shiny bits, the watch head was finished with the pad and cape cod the same then ultra sonic cleaned all of it, while I was there I had the back off and
re-greased the seal too, all up took about two half hrs and it came up pretty good
Feels even better now and really looks the part (and no more chaffed wrist!) it really is a fantastic rep I can't imagine how good the Gen must be in the flesh! Apologies too I didn't think to take pics whilst doing it
