e30m3 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 That pesky line in the midlink doesn't have to stick around. Took 5 mins with a Dremel and a 600-grit wheel. Blast the line down (being careful not to go too far), then block sand wet with something flat, 800 grit-ish. Finally, use the medium grit Sandflex bar to get back to the Folex finish. Done. Too bad the rest of the bracelet still sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan71 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Good work! If you are able to make a convex profile (now is flat) is perfect.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30m3 Posted April 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Hmm, mine wasn’t convex from factory - it’s supposed to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan71 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 If You check a gen bracelet was little convex (like the other mid link on the bracelet) but not straight flat like the cartel one.. See pic from chrono24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30m3 Posted April 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Ah hah, I see it now. Going to try and bend the curve in. Let’s see how terribly that goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e30m3 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 There’s a curve but man is it subtle. Here’s one in really good shape from 1984: https://omegaforums.net/threads/rolex-submariner-5513-maxi-dial-full-set-and-unpolished.74884/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan71 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I can’t open the link ..but yes the curve is barely noticeable, so you can leave the middle link how is now !Nice work , I have to do the same on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
