Watchmeister Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I was wearing my 231 today when I walked into an AD and saw the gen. An obvious flaw is the lack of brushing on the top of the bezel. Can you lightly brush the plating to achieve that effect or do you end up staring at base metal?

UncleJay Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I believe the Scotch-Brite pad may work on a good plating. I may try it wet to reduce the friction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt.watch.obsessive Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 A micron is 1/1000 of a millimeter so I'd be careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I may give the scotch brite a try. The lack of brushed finish drives me nuts. And correct me if I am wrong, but I should be able to try it without taking the watch apart as it is a sapphire crystal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
