Things I hate - flexi bracelets and suicide spring bars

A mate of mine hooked himself through the nose with a treble hook lure once.

We couldn't help him for about 10 minutes, the laughing was paralysing us 😁

Thanks Florian, I shall make it my weekend project to get it back to better condition.

Well that was quick, all finished.

I wanted the case brushing to be nice and straight, not like some I've seen 😲

I found and old case the same size as the case-back and McGyver'd it onto a square wooden block, with the case-back aligned parallel to the edge of the block.

A jig of MDF board with the 240 grit paper clamped by the guide bar completed the set-up.

A couple of minutes of careful stroking and the case has a nice original brushed look.

I couldn't get all of the original scratches out but didn't want to go any further in case I started to lose the WATERPROOF marking.

Here's the setup



And here is the wooden block/old case "jig" showing the case-back with it's new brushed finish.

It tastes like crap though 🍺

Here's a pic of it on the watch.
