Hi Sander,

I have a unused SSteel deployment and will take your yellow gold plated in. As I live also in the Netherlands it will not take that much in shipping. Let me know. Zwijn

Thanks for the offer Zwijn but I already used the Dremel to give it a polish job.

It turned out really nice I think.

ha ha,

Well the funny thing is that I hat it done about 4 years ago and there were still no signs of wear on it.

The only problem was the part that is in contact with the wrist. After a while it started to chip a little. Some kind of reaction with sweat??

All the visible parts were still as new.

Anyway, the problem is solved!
