well, you are absolutely right...there is no reason for that kind of mod.
maybe i'm to nostalgic and like it to look more "rugged".
like you allready said, plexiglas can be polished easy.
thank you guys for your positive feedback!
@murph;
what a beauty you have there...awesome mods!!
it's funny,...i did not realize the gen has a white second hand, thank you for pointing it out, i will paint mine to.
how did you manage it to shape the case, it looks great!
thanks again for the input, i really apreciate it!
hello RWG
i would like to share my seamaster 300.
after receiving it from toro bravo decided to do some "vintage work"...
the mods done are;
-full dial & hands relume
-dissembled the case, gave it some sligthly hits with a small hammer, scratched it, than bead blasted and finally polished it
-dipped a paper in acetone and "rubbed" slightly the acrylic glas
-replaced the stock caseback-gasket by a larger one
-lubed all gaskets
-reglued the bezelinsert with epoxy
-rubbed the bezelinsert with carpolish
-nato-strap
-pressure test 6atm
the eta movement is keeping great time.
how are yours experiences with this models (is there anyone with the same model)?
any constructive feedback is wellcome. : )
thank you for watching

there are some members having toughts/concerns about the BK bezel-pearl,
i think, it's not a big deal (you can replace it by a watchmaterial pearl or mod it yourself by using the epoxy mod)
i decided to mod it to show the full "potential" of this great watch.
here some pics of the same watch with modified bezel pearl
at least:
BK is the real deal...great service and awesome watches!
thank you BK!
