Bas' posts deserve stickies. This kind topic about the watches themselves is what drew me to the forum in the first place. Keep these posts coming Bas

This is a DIY bezel polish. Just the numerals. There is no DIY for the frosted area.

That is an awesome job! Looks just as good as new.

Out of curiosity, how long did it take for the bezel to have that type of wear?

First two pics are after 6 years of every day wear. The last two pics are after sending it to Rolliworks for a service, band stretch repair, and polish. 3 1/2 weeks complete turn around time. Michael Hui is awesome!

Thanks!
Tell me about it... Some are so over polished it really takes some TLC to get it somewhat into good shape again.

Thanks, a few years of good wear and it will look like that.
