From grind to shine…

[XxRuMKaxX]

When this watch came to me it looked like it was spit out of a lawn mower and landed in a meat grinder. Some of the deepest sickest marks and gouges I have ever seen. After many sessions at the polishing wheel, usually a couple hours at a time, and making it through a few Fukits! I persisted over the past few weeks and finally accomplished liquidity!

That would have been the steel wool stage where I was trying to bring it back to its original matte finish... it worked on the bracelet it started out with and I took that and put it on my 2nd Dark Earth and gave my Red back its bracelet ... No amount of steel wool was going to bring the head back though it did give the polishing a good start by moving around some material and smoothing things down. I kick myself for not taking a before picture.... it was pretty gnarly looking

Work in progress… I am almost there but still a couple small imperfections to get it to perfect…

That looks awesome and really will set off the Red face with the titanium bracelet all polished up.

That's an awesome shine. Now I wondering if these watches can be anodized?
