Justasgood Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 I had some time on my hands so I went at an old Polex Shitinerand and tried my hand at modding the CG's. All opinions are welcomed and if anyone has an eta movement spacer or a NO-Date Rolex dial , I could really use them for my sub project. Thanks in advance, Kurt.

gioarmani Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 The symetry in shapes need to be evened out just a bit (and possibly adding a few more stages of different grits os sandpaper to make them a bit smoother--might just be the photo, but it appears as though there's a few hair scratches still in the metal), but for a novice, they're pretty good! Also, if you want to spring the extra $ for it, don''t use Cape Cod or other polishing cloths to finish them off--invest in a Dremel & some good jewelers rouge.

I figured I needed a little more work on them. I have the Dremel but need the correct rouge. I have a bar of the Green and need some finer grit paper to smooth out the finished product....
