Mr Z Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 thought id make a small thread about my afternoons work , its been bugging me for ages few hairline marks on my gen and rep bezel ,so i started with my rep first to see how well it would turn out , as ive never done any kinda work on my watches apart from the usual scotch pad touch ups , so i thought id go for the full Monty .ordered all the stuff i need for the job crystal press, and opted for the finner wet and dry paper started with 600 grit and finished it off with 1000 grit also using some wd40 on the paper .. it came out perfectly im very happy with my results ive amazed my self and at the same time done the pusher changes as well not bad for my first mods ... and also i was brave enough to refurb my gen bezel but was a little more careful when taking it apart ,and bingo also come out perfectly , i think that i just saved my self £400+ from ap for doing that same job ,which can go towards a new rep and was a satisfying feeling once completed and back together in my watch box..all in all its been a pleasant afternoons work , just like to thank (mike00 for doing the refurb bezel thread which inspired me to do my own and also buddalondon for my watch dust cover which help out in the process) ap bezel refurbishment (gen and rep) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddalondon Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Z that's a wicked job mate. Man you're a brave guy taking the gen appart but the result is superb. Glad the cover was useful - it's a pleasure my friend. Edited March 26, 2012 by Buddalondon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
