Marv1nn Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share 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 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Here's a Seiko OM that was bead blasted. It gave it a "titanium" look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
