woody99 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I have a couple of really good reps that I love to wear except the case and sometimes the strap or clasp have sharp edges from the manufacturing process. I don't mean that there is an edge that will cut you just that the angle is very defined and after a few hours on my wrist it starts to irritate me. My gens are somehow smoothed or mico-chamfered to avoid this. I have tried a small fine file but it seems very slow and ineffective. I was wondering if others had come across this and how they have smoothed these areas. Thanks, Woody99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 It would help if you gave specific examples of the reps you are having trouble with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody99 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 The clasp issue is with a Pam deployment clasp and the case issue is on a couple of Rolex DSSD and GMT that I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asf Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 on my pam bracelet, the deployant digs into my wrist so I took my dremmel tool and ground the sharp edge down and re brushed it smooth. I did the same to my BK LV bracelet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki6 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Search for FXRandy, he has a fantastic guide on how to make your bracelet smooth and gen like! I'm sure, with some advice, it could work for the cases too! P4GTR also has a great bracelet clean and lube how to. Do a search for them both, the bracelet lube is one of the easiest, yet best mods you can do to your rep IMO!! Sixx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody99 Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I haven''t taken out the Dremmel yet. What kind of grinding / polishung wheel did you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asf Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I haven''t taken out the Dremmel yet. What kind of grinding / polishung wheel did you use. I used the 952 Aluminum Oxide Grinding Stone to get the grind down on high. Id say practice on some junk bracelets first. and the 535 Brass Brush to brush the newly grounded edge to make it less rough. If i had the SS brush it would prob be better . Im sure there are better dremel bits that would do the job better, but thats what I had on hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
