Mail it to Jocke, he'll fix it right up and have it back in a week or so !

You seem to have done a good job brushing it, looks BNIB now

The bead blast gave it a...some what cheap and depressing look and the colour just looks wrong.

Well, believe it or not, I first used a rag wheel and some Dazzle pumice, of course being careful not to get close to the bezel. I used, yep, you got it, brownies and greenies, but on a high speed, to polish the bezel. Then I took it home and took the bracelet off and brushed everything with scotch brite. That's it!
