username here Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 just got an Explorer II but I'd like to remove the engraving from the inside of the rehaut. Possible? Has anybody done it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Is it actually engraved, or printed? I removed the printing on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japanic Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 There was a thread/tutorial about this, here's long/short of it: Remove the movement, dial and crystal Take sandpaper (starting with ~240 grain) and wrap it around a toothpick or rat-tail file start working at it Once most of the engraving has been removed increase the sandpaper grain until the desired finish is found. Put everything back in it's place and reapply crystal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
