yeah, it's quite the inspiration.

he runs an ebay store where he sells mostly breitlings, a frank or two here or there.

NeoFashion is the name of it, he has very good feedback.

So what does he charge?

no idea, I'm just a fan of his work.
I've thought about buying one of his watches like 10 times, and I probably
will some day here. I'd be curious to know what a job like that is worth too.

that's his email addy if you're thinking of hiring him. I'm more inclined to
continue to drool over his stuff and practice hard until I can do similar.

To get refinishing of this level you would need a lapping machine I would think.

yeah the more I think about actually doing something like this, the more I realize it's just not going to happen.

I've thought about how I would go about doing it, and my mind had rigged up some
sort of machines that could aid in pulling it off, but in practice I know I'd fail, lol.

really sets him apart as a used watch seller in my mind. he's doing it right.
