I got a tc v6 today. The watch head is in good condition, but the bracelet can use some tlc.

Any modders in eu that can brush a bracelet?

It’s a job you could try to do yourself - it’s really not all that difficult to get a decent finish. There’s several guides on RWI that detail ways to do it, and the materials aren’t going to break the bank. Here’s one guide (deals with brushed and polished surfaces - the 16610 is easier as there’s no polished centre links to worry about):

thx for this input guys. This is something I might pursue later on. For now I would like to send this to a modder.
So any advice on modders for this?

Nice watch that, the crown guards look great for a rep 16610. Where I can get one of those? Can I buy yours?
It's a TC (Thomas Caddell) 16610. They're no longer made. Keep an eye on M2M - they come up for sale reasonably often, but are snapped up in a flash. Or you could buy a Ginault.

It's sooooo easy to try for yourself. Go on, go on, go on... But if you're really not prepared to just buy some Scotchbrite pads and have a go, then to recommend someone who could help, it would be useful to know whereabouts in the world you are.

Ok, so not gonna do the bracelet, will try this on a older cartel I have around later.

But I did discover something else: Cape Cod!
Of course everybody knows it, but I never used it.
After 10 yrs in reps discovering something is always nice.

Above is before, below is after. Bringing this watch back to a proper state

Lost a rivet on my clasp. Anyone have a 18mm 1,0 mm rivet pin lying around?

Maybe its the lighting but the bracelet looks matt rather than brushed. I've just brushed this bracelet for reference

Looks nice!
I understand what you mean. Mine's still a little greasy from the oil bath. It's brushed but not as pronounced as yours.
