redwatch Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Haven't looked at this, but in anticipation of my 7032 dial, movement & hands coming in from Ziggy, I am wondering how hard it is to remove the bezel off of the DW 7032 case? I would like to brush the bezel as well as age the case a little bit. On the gen, what is the direction of the brush pattern? Is it circular or does it go like a sunburst, from center outwards? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelizer Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Dunno how hard it is to get the bezel off the 7032, but I can't imagine it being a problem when using a good case knife. However, the brush pattern direction I do know - they are circular on the gen.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ephry73 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Good man GP. Told ya the drill at low speed would work. BTW, this method also works great to polish sub bezels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
