As for finishing the bracelet do you think I could just use some brasso metal polish, it worked beautifully on my omega seamaster genuine I had ten years back, it did get rid of the original colour but I was left with a beautiful shiny glinting watch, I notices rolex watches look nice when there like that, just a personal opinion lol, I'm gonna go with what you've suggested jkay, I'll get bk to send it to vacuum, the only thing I'm paranoid about now is I hope I don't get swindled, but I trust you guys, your all a great bunch, now to place the order
