Was looking online the other day and then saw what was used so decided to order the pads and tried it myself.
Took the links apart so only brushing the PCLs and not touching the outer links which are brushed anyway.
Really happy with the results

Looks great :encouragement:
Very professional looking result. Must take a while to get the bits that curve inwards at the edge?
Looks great , can you say exactly which product you used please ?
That does look great nice job
That looks really good. Do you have some close ups as well please?
Taking the whole bracelet apart made everything so much easier. Even the links near the clasp were able to be removed which really helped.Quote:

My phone doesn’t do very well at close ups but here is the photo cropped.Quote:

Thanks for sharing - I will check out the video.
Did garyflex go out of fashion?
That's what I'll be using on the PCL's of my Chronomaster Sport if I decide to go down that route.Quote:

Just came back from Gingerboy after he brushed it for me - and such a difference!

Fantastic, and how it should come from the factory.
What have you done with the clap and it's star?

All brushed, except the small section with the star itself.Quote:

It looks epic
That looks 10/10
Nicely done. In doing this is there a lot of metal lost? Is it easy to go back to PCL of you need to sell?

Perfect from my perspective, transforms the watch fron dressy to 'tooly' with a bit of both.
That should be a factory option, especially for a watch at this price, if you see what I mean.
Absolutely lovely.

stunning want mine down now ! I wish the clasp on these was a little more premium as well, for a 10k watch it should beQuote:

1. Where did you get the pads? (Amazon seems not to be the answer)
2. How did you deal with the half-links where (as far as I can tell) you can't remove the centre from the side pieces? Heat tape on the already-brushed parts?
I just did a Google search for those pads and found a company online selling them, nothing more fancy than that. Found a place that did all 3, was about £20 in total including postage and 3x 3 of each pad.
Are you talking about the half links near the clasp itself? They have a centre screw, same principle as the others just that it’s in the middle

Just refitted the bracelet onto the watch and it looks great, very happy in how this has turned out and also adjusted the bracelet so that I can use the micro adjustment too
