How to go about repairing/refinishing my beloved Seiko

[Mr. Moon]

Hey all, first post.

First and foremost, I'm glad to have found this forum, I'm learning a ton of information about reps before I decide to buy my first. Above all, I've realized that not all reps are as bad as the MAVODO my mom bought in Dallas at some point in the 80s!

Anyhow, I bought my black samurai SNM011 about four years ago and it has served as my daily watch. As a result, it is beginning to show its age. I just thought I'd ask what steps I could take to get it back to its better days.

Thanks all.

Just leave it as it is, wear is beauty too

I am going with Gran on this one... Leave it as it is... Very nice watch..

I belive the Japanese call this normal wear marks "Wabi".

Nice case, remindes me of the Gerarld Genta style on the IWC Ingenieur.

Looks pretty good to me. I say leave it as is also. Adds character

Read this. The same principles and materials can be used for your stainless.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Ronin, your thread is probably exactly what I was looking for! While I don't mind some normal wear on it, I just want it to look a little more "fresh."
