Home refinishing project for Breitling
I frequently get bored and then who knows what can happen?!?! Any way, my Breilting Super Avenger was getting old and I thought it needed a change. As many of you know, the SA comes with a high-polish finish on the case and bracelet. I decided to change that. It's now a brushed/satin finish similiar to a Rolex. Let me know what you think! I intentionally left the centre links polished for a little pizazz... It's not perfect as this was my first attempt at refinishing...

If that's your version of "NOT " perfect, I can't wait to see what perfect looks like. That is an excellent appearance .

That is an excellent result, but the vast majority of us must remember that case polishing is a talent or skill, and unskilled experimentation may result in permanent deleterious effects to the watch.
bravo
