I have my own personal Rolex tech "Certified", and on my payroll ..lol

Exact same grit on the stock watches

Looks great...! I'll need his contact information asap!

I tried on a Daytona for the first time yesterday and I really think this is my next watch. Though, the PCLs kill it for me...

If you need something done I'll take care of it for you... He doesn't want the Rolex mafia coming after him for working outside the castle

Ummmm .. Steve when it comes together it will be Coated in BLACK DLC

I agree. Brushed is the way to go. I've sold probably a dozen brused bezels to members here. I brushed all my Daytonas.

Puffy · 15 August 2011, 07:05 AM

It looks good but are you sure it's the right satin finish? Eg The bezel looks off

youngr · 15 August 2011, 07:05 AM

I like the bracelete brushed but the case and bezel should have been left alone. That my 2cents

tripleC · 15 August 2011, 07:12 AM

Love it. What do you use for the finish. I like scotchbrite.

No clue really, I didn't do it personally

The Bezel is just a radial finish

1kw · 15 August 2011, 07:21 AM

Where can I get a black bezel for my daytona ? I have the current version.

masterserg · 15 August 2011, 07:21 AM

It is nicely done, but in my opinion, it makes it look too "Explorer" ... kinda loses the Daytona appeal.

z32turbo · 15 August 2011, 10:06 AM

Looks good!!

dddrees · 15 August 2011, 12:01 PM

Looks pretty good.

kcmo · 15 August 2011, 12:03 PM

Prefer the original

Michael M. · 15 August 2011, 12:05 PM

Very cool!

chicagofan · 15 August 2011, 12:12 PM

Looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

mastermixer · 15 August 2011, 12:20 PM

I think the Daytona needs a little flash with the polished finish, but it does not look bad in the brush. Have you thought of leaving any of the parts polished, Ie the bezel or sides of the bracelet?

Not for me I'm afraid.

threemonkeys · 15 August 2011, 02:25 PM

I love it. And I'm surprised that I really like the brushed bezel as well.

DT14 · 15 August 2011, 02:31 PM

love the all brushed look, which is how Daytona's used to look before Rolex decided their watches sell better when they glisten under the retailers bright lights.
