Marv1nn Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 I have an old Breitling SOP that has seen some serious action, and would like to refurb it to a near perfect state. I've tried brushing it myself, and don't care for the results. Can you guys point a noob to the right place and advise on your experiences and estimated costs for the service? Thanks!!

Nanuq Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 Here's a Seiko OM that was bead blasted. It gave it a "titanium" look.
Marv1nn Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Posted February 19, 2011 That's exactly the look I want for this piece. I'll post before and afters as I progress.
Reginald37 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Jay at Motor city watch works is the bead blasting man - about $85 for the head of my old Ecozilla
