I like to restore Omega's because of their elegance, and beautiful lines, and this band is no exception. Enjoy.
Step 1: Disassemble

Step 2: Polish out the scratches.

Step 3: Satin, assemble, and clean

cheers!

Looks great, but you're a little vague on the process......

Looking nice

well, there's not much to it, first of all don't wear things down while polishing it, after you've polished it, protect the intended polished parts with some tape and have at it with a satin wheel(make sure you get in between the links, that's the toughest part). once you've achieved the desired look, clean up any areas that got scuffed with your polishing wheel. Voila! You'll have to experiment with which wheels work best. Don't ask me about how I do the Rolex stuff cuz that's where I draw the line.

Nice work Dalton.

Wow. Looks new. Maybe I should have you do my speedmaster band.

Currently my day/date is on leather.

Perdu · 31 May 2008, 05:24 AM

Super job. What do you use to put the satin finish on?

Dalton · 31 May 2008, 03:12 PM

I used a soft wheel. It's a bit more forgiving and easier on the steel if you need to redo
