It's amazing, that this watch has almost the same age like the bus in the background... btw, the front of the bus is on the left side! |

Amazing results!!
I'm stagged in two ways, actually! 1) that a lens in such a state can be brought back to life in such dramtic fashion, and 2) How on earth did it get that way in the first place?! Clearly you're a man who's not afraid to wear his watches!  I'm new to this, and would love to know exactly how you got these results? Did you have to remove the lens, or did you do it in situ? If so, did you tape over the bezel etc for protection?  Beautiful, beautiful watch btw, but that almost goes without saying! Also - of you like interesting and whacky buses, then check out this bad boy I spotted in Greece recently! I can't decide if it's pure genius or absolutely criminal! haha You decide!

At the risk of taking thread too far off piste, this was another amusing spot in Luxemourg!
Maybe I'll grow up one day... but not today!  Anyway, back to the studio where we're discussing the OP's beautiful work on his acrylic.... |
