From polished to brushed>>>>

Here we goes for another refinishing tour. This time we
should restore the orginal finish on the lugs. This one
have I polish and here I will show you how easy it´s to
get it back to orginal style.



Here is the lug.



We start to pull off the bezel and we use a razor blade
just press it in between the bezel and the case. Go all
the way round and see so he go up straight.



Then we use a pocket knife to take it off the case.



Here the bezel is off.



Now we use some masking tape around the crystal and
on the sides of the case so we don´t get some scratches
on the crystal or the polished surfaces.



Here is the masked lug.



This time we only use the sandpaper sponge and we go
very easy and go around the crystal so we get the lines
correct.



Here is how it looks after we have use the sponge on
the lug, just like it was from the start.



Now it´s time to put back the bezel, sometimes it
will be a little tricky so if it going to hard just
ask your watchmaker to put it back for you. If you
do that it will be smart to change gasket too and
give your watch a waterproof test at the same time.



Viola just like new, the lugs looks real nice now.

Thanks for you looking.
