Good afternoon guys
today I present a job that I usually don't do for my clients( for the high costs it is not worth it).

there are hand restorations (like the old craftsmen) and restorations with machinery with ribbon paper to facilitate the task. I did this job by hand, as I was taught by an old craftsman. I worked a lot on the replicas to perfect the job.
it happened to me that a friend tried to polish his watch with the cape cod, doing enormous damage. the watch was shiny and incorrect brushing.

he didn't like brushing the factory very much, because he had a gen in the past, he says they have the feeling of iron and not steel. so I accepted the challenge, restoring the brushing and the shiny finishes on a watch that is just 2 months old. this is the result and I wanted to share it with you

sorry for my terrible english :D

Outstanding work and finish. You mentioned you don't offer this job for clients. Is there brushing/finshing service that is a close second in terms of quality to your work? Whether yourself or someone you'd recommend. I can never look at another 15202 the same after seeing your work

yes, I don't because it's quite expensive on a rep.

Wonderful work! Sei veramente bravo!
Could I ask you for a suggestion? To get rid of some scratches, I would need to brush the bezel of my ZF AP 15500 with sandpaper. What grain do you suggest? I read that the 600 would be fine but I'm not sure. Thank you in advance
