How to restore the finish at the lugs>>>>
Here I goes for another refinishing tour. This time I
should restore the orginal finish on the lugs. This one have I polish and here I will show you how easy itīs to get it back to orginal style. Here is the lug. I start to pull off the bezel and I use a razor blade just press it in between the bezel and the case. Go all the way round and see so he go up straight. Then I use a pocket knife to take it off the case. Here the bezel is off. Now I use some masking tape around the crystal and on the sides of the case so I donīt get some scratches on the crystal or the polished surfaces. Here is the masked lug. This time I only use the sandpaper sponge and I go very easy and go around the crystal so I get the lines correct. Here is how it looks after I have use the sponge on the lug, just like it was from the start. Now itīs time to put back the bezel, sometimes it will be a little tricky so if it going to hard just ask your watchmaker to put it back for you. If you do that it will be smart to change gasket too and give your watch a waterproof test at the same time. Viola just like new, the lugs looks real nice now. Thanks for you looking. Jocke
