Well I got a YMII that I thought you guys would find interesting as it transforms from Scuffed to Buffed. Enjoy

Alcan · 14 April 2009, 09:50 AM

Beautiful work Dalton, and I'll bet those bezels aren't easy to work on and restore the original finish.

SLS · 14 April 2009, 09:51 AM

Wow, it turned out great!

Great work Dalton

JJ Irani · 14 April 2009, 11:22 AM

WHOA!! Magic, Mr. Dalton......sheer magic!!

And you did all of that with PLATINUM?

mck22 · 14 April 2009, 11:32 AM

Your work is amazing

Dalton · 14 April 2009, 02:22 PM

yup. Platinum. For the record, my mentor, Beau is the true Master. He's taught me well. As long as scratches are not deep, most bezels can be fully restored.

Gaijin · 14 April 2009, 02:35 PM

Well done!

postiff · 14 April 2009, 03:43 PM

Hey looks like it has been worn a little…

Nice work.

WatchTimes · 14 April 2009, 10:44 PM

LOVE that watch and so nice to see someone actually uses
it and don't baby it to death...

Nice work!!!

This particular piece took 4 hours but with many interruptions along the way. The hardest part is the bezelof course. I figured JJ and Richard would enjoy this one.

boa2 · 15 April 2009, 02:27 AM

Superb job, Dalton!

Skullring · 15 April 2009, 03:05 AM

Great job. How do you separate the matt finish from the mirror finish while buffing?

abr68 · 15 April 2009, 03:11 AM

You´re kidding and bought a brand new one

Phantastic job

steelers · 15 April 2009, 04:52 AM

Great Job

Dalton · 16 April 2009, 01:53 AM

Well I sported the watch for only 2 days and then a friend hounded me for hours so I sold it. I want Platinum again. I even sold my beater car for the financing of this watch

. The quest is on again. Car or watch.

Omega_Precision · 16 April 2009, 01:59 AM

Depends on what kind of car?

Good to see people wear the YMII like a tool watch it is.

T-Rip · 11 January 2012, 09:59 AM

Amazing

Gharddog03 · 11 January 2012, 10:03 AM

Looks awesome.

HL65 · 11 January 2012, 10:42 AM

Another old thread opened up...Still looks good 2 years and 8 months later.

ArcticMoose · 11 January 2012, 10:56 AM

Absolutely stunning result, hadn't seen this thread without the bump!

I might as well ask, has anyone had any experience getting a a Pt YM bezel cleaned up at an RSC during service? The ADs I've spoken about it with have come up with a variety of answers, but the most common one is that it would be sent to Geneva, pretty much at the same cost as a new bezel insert.

FeelingTheBlues · 11 January 2012, 11:30 AM

Great job indeed!
