dbane883 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 What case is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I gave it to a friend who owns a used watch shop in town, he had it all disassembled and gave it to his polisher who polishes the gen watches that the store gets in. He did a great job, probably had no idea that the case wasn't genuine. It's a cartel case, I bought it from the sales section but the previous owner had the cg's done and fitted it with a gen crystal and crown.

droptopman Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Gorgeous piece. Love the polish work. I have been messing around with my dremel and different wire brushes on some of my old beaters and it takes much practice and expertise to get it to look like that. I am still not there yet. I can get the high polished chromed out look easy but that perfectly brushed look is tough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcotter Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 DroptopmanRather than wire wheels try using "Scotchbrite", I know the pros use wheels that are of that material in a few different courseness'.Even working a green pad by hand can create a very genlike result....Best, mcotter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
