milesd Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Great looking CG you've got there. We just got hammered with Snow here in PA, so I'm thinking of attempting to flatted my CG pin. Hope it turned out that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG was rebrushed as well with progressive grits plus crown teeth edges sharpened and re-polished.

Thanks in advance... I was looking for a tip for this and found a few answers - Some use a brillo pad or scotch brite (but only if its crystal) another suggested acetone, and another a buffer wheel and paste. I found a guy who suggested Stainless steel polish fortunately I had some in the cupboard and the AR came straight off no problem, that was on DSN's AR. It also doesnt damage the case if you just want to do the outside of the crystal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HR911 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hi Pete, Thanks for your reply....you have a beautiful watch too. My AR coating will be on the inside though won't it?....I thought the fiddy's all had the AR coating on the inside only? I can't even get the movement out at the moment as my screwdriver set doesn't seem to suitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even get the movement out at the moment as my screwdriver set doesn't seem to suitable. Thanks mate, Your right with the AR, I just meant generally with the outside. You need to get to Watchbitz in the trade section for all your screwdriver needs. The movement seems simple to remove and is shown in the tutorials on RG. I couldnt find it on here. My mate did it and he isnt a DIY guy, remove CG, the back screwed off using a guys tip on here using a scrunched up ball of sticky tape pressed firmly onto CB, Then turn screw near crown pin about a turn and a half this releases the crown from the movement and case (dont go to far with turns as this engages keyless operation apparently) Then there are two screws on the edge of the movement about 11 oclock and 5 oclock these hold a bracket that holds movement to inside of case. Remove movement wearing some rubber gloves just prise it out gently place away carefully and then remove AR as suggested. Then repeat actions in reverse. Anyway thats a quick answer but trust me it is easy just take your time and be careful not to lose screws etc. Have a good work surface with a cloth etc. I am sure other guys on here can explain much better than me but thats how we done it. Apologies if this is a thread crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HR911 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hi Pete, Thanks very much but I've found a service by Fine DD on RWI that will remove the AR and likely put his own AR on. So happy days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z3k0 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 ... CG was rebrushed as well with progressive grits plus crown teeth edges sharpened and re-polished. Really admire your CG work - could you please explain how do you "progress" grits, do you go from finer grit to more coarse ones or other way round, and do you polish first ? regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectologist Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 Really admire your CG work - could you please explain how do you "progress" grits, do you go from finer grit to more coarse ones or other way round, and do you polish first ? regards 180 to 360. Strips of sandpaper were glued to a flat surface and the cg was brushed in one direction only (NEVER go back and forth) using a strip of wood as a guide. The cg is laid on the sandpaper strip with the feet against the guide, pressing down on the cg with my thumb and forefinger drawing the cg towards me with even pressure. The guide is the key to having the brush strokes consistent and perfectly parallel to the case. The pin was flattened and polished by a machinist friend.
