Rolexman Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 The rep Portu has a polished case back whereas the genuine is brushed. A tell that can be easily altered.... A lot of you probably figured this out yourself but it is so easy and the result's are so good I want to share it with you guys. You need 3 things: - Jeweler screw driver - Painting masking tape - Scotch Brite pad (or similar) Step 1 Remove your case back by removing the tiny screws with a jewelers screw driver. Step 2 Mask the area of the case back that does not need to be brushed like the picture Step 3 Brush the case back in 1 direction with the green surface of the Scotch Brite pad. Step 4 Remove the tape and wash the case back with water and soap Step 5 Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtchgk Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Nice to show your method. But, the direction of the brushing needs to be exactly in line with the north south axis in order to match the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
