Just be aware that blasted cases show every single rub and scratch beyond belief with no way to touch up short of a total re blast.

I was just about to start a thread to ask this exact same question (almost), but in relation to clasps. I've got a Eulit perlon, with a shiny clasp, on a bead-blasted titanium watch, which looks a bit silly. Eulit clasps are all polished steel.
Is there a way, without specialist equipment, to get a close approximation of a bead blasted finish? Or is it remotely economical to send it to someone to get it done properly?
You could go for different levels of sandpaper attached to something small like a dremel or stick I guess. Would take a while and require a keen eye and hand !
A jewellery tumbler with some appropriate media can get something similar in finish. But they aren't cheap to buy for a job that small.
There will be somebody who knows somebody with a media blaster. I lost the contacts I had, sorry.
