Worth taking a look at ‘The Watch Polisher’, London SE22.

It is just accurate masking. But rather than attempting to mask the narrow polished sections in isolation, I would apply the brushed finish to your bracelet in sections.

This bracelet has three...

This thread is an excellent reference guide. It is for the Bond bracelet rather that the Speedy, but of course the process is the same.

Excellent. I’ll be interested to hear what you think. Ideally (for me) it would be 40mm, but I might just be able to get away with the 42mm.

Spirit Zulu Time. Slightly over budget, but otherwise, what’s not to like?

Another Dornblüth, a Newmark, and a JLC (I’m not sure these are well known to the general public at all).

Scratch that, didn’t fit the brief.

Matthew, as always you’re doing a sterling job here [emoji122]

Is there still scope to donate an additional watch as a prize?

Edit: I’ve just updated myself by reading the BP thread. No worries...

This.

The model is the Explorer Two. Rolex have not (yet) progressed to the Explorer Eleven.
