Can You Turn A Minute Machine Band Inside Out?

[Rustpot]

Well I was playing with mine and it doesn't seem like the links work as well the other way, but I don't have an Allen set with me at school (since they're metric).

But thanks for the title of ultimate maker of things around here lol

Allen sets are like $5. No excuse.

What did it look like before?

I wore it everyday so it got beat up pretty good but its not quite as bad as yours but i'm sure they could make it look better

If the scratches are deep, not much you can do. Just polishing will make the scratches look worse. If there is enough material you can sand the scratches out with 600 grit. Then follow up with Scotchbrite and it will look factory fresh. I have done this more than a few time with my MM and when its done you cannot tell the difference between my used MM and my NIB. To polish, after 600 progress through 800 then 1500 to 2000. My favorite metal polish is Blue Magic. I have done 2 12 Gauges and have a spare black MM I may do soon.

What if you pull it apart and get it powder coated? Been wondering if it would work and how it would look
Jus a thought

Something like that is possible. I remember someone I know pulling theirs all apart and doing the band two tone. He's good like that. Only see him 2-3 times per year though.

That kind of stuff is a little beyond me

I hear you I've wanted to do it but have been worried about wrecking the watch.....
If I was FMJ and had 40 minute machines I'd be all over it....

Not me. I don't take chances.
