gasdoc Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I got this jubilee bracelet in a group of parts to build a franken datejust. The seller states it is a definately a gen bracelet. Can anyone tell me what these grind marks are on the back? What would have caused this? Some type of repair or refinishing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Wear from the fold of the clasp? I have seen wear kinda like that on vintage oysters. The thing is it should be shiny where there is wear. I have some on my vintage oyster. Maybe it was worn, then te brushed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 I don't think that's clasp rub... Maybe they planned to do some dremmel refinishing, and opted to try it on an inconspicuous area rather than trash a visible area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymanmatt Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Probably brushed to make it look better. My wife uses different color file boards for her fingernails. They come in white(very coarse) blue, yellow, and pink(very smooth) My guess is they used the white. You can use a new pink board and it looks almost factory. They work very well for puting a satin finish on bracelets, try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 "Can anyone tell me what these grind marks are on the back?" Marks like that are caused by the hinge in the clasp rubbing the links in the same spot for a looong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
