JIFF Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Dip in phosphoric acid for one second than rinse in (al lot of) water and repeat that process until you have the aging you want... You should be able see some aging after one dip... What do you think al those sellers of aged inserts on VRF use to age their inserts??? They buy an insert voor approx. 30-40 USD, age them and sell them for hundreds of USD... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneed12 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 A bezel will show noticeable aging after only a few SCUBA dives, so a week in salt water ought to do something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
