Hi tribe,

i have a xf v2 that is it seeing the light so much, before sending her on m2m , I will give her another chance

i was thinking to do a full relume and fc case brushing to have to marbling pops up.

What is the consensus here please re. Fc case brushing.

Would you mind pointing me to a quality modder for this fc case work based in Europe please ?

also lume who is a good one with acceptable turnaround please Europe based.

I have used Shaidx in the past in USA to mod a noob fc case, also Domi for relume.

but the 3m wait is a deal breaker for Domi and I won’t send my watch to USA.

many thanks for your time to read me and for your inputs

cheers

Hello fire

1. No you should not brush FC, the process is not compatible with the desired finish of the case marbling

2. Do not polish the case too. Gen AP FC case, starts off being very matte when new, but with pronounced marbling. It does become naturally glossy over a long period of time as it inevitably absorbs the natural oils and secretions from the wrist. I think that the XF case is good enough personally, but like I mentioned many times, the owner decides what is acceptable or not for his watch.
