Polishing Clark Bezel Assembly?


e30m3

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Just received my unpolished Clark 5513 bezel assembly and have a couple of questions:

 

1. It's unpolished - I was just going to hit it with Dialux Vert until it got shiny, but thought to check if this was all wrong and there was some special way of recreating the "factory" finish (although I'm sure any real 5513 will have been so polished with time by now that it's not really relevant).

 

2. To install, do I take apart the bezel assembly into its individual parts and push over the crystal one-by-one? Or press the whole damn thing on (very carefully) as one assembly?

 

Thanks.

Thanks (as usual). I'm just going to go to town with a cotton wheel and some Dialux - just polish the crap out of it? What about the inside of the "teeth," do you recommend getting it in there too? Or try to keep the "machined" look?
