Oh and then when all was said and done remembered I have a wooden table in my back yard that I could have screwed the vibe onto witch would have made life all that better while drilling

I would have known to countersink after drops v my cobalt nuke on those crow gaurds but hey listen it’s trial and error for me and I’m having fun in the process and I go buy the old saying if you bend it mend it 
Sorry for the shady spelling mistakes as you can see my spelling is just as bad as my modding 
I thought leaving the dents and scratches on the watch to the ends of the lugs face of the crystal I thought it was minor so leave it for age related loom as I get better at polishing I can fix them easy peasy 
as I get better at polishing I can fix them easy peasy
Done some light shaving of the crown gaurds and fitted the new end peices and Rolex fatbars another wee bit of polishing I would say it’s looking better and getting there
This is obv a work in progress and a long way from finished as I am an amateur on polishing I know it’s rough but bare with me it will look better in the long run / next I am going to attempt some ageing of the bezel insert and the dial markers and hands using a method of bleaching the insert overnight and using tea staining for the markers and hands 
the main thing troops is I’m having fun

You're wearing fucking slides.

A lot comes off quickly when you bleach an insert, just a heads up you might want to try a few minutes then rinse it and dry it to check the effects before leaving it as long as overnightThis is obv a work in progress and a long way from finished as I am an amateur on polishing I know it’s rough but bare with me it will look better in the long run / next I am going to attempt some ageing of the bezel insert and the dial markers and hands using a method of bleaching the insert overnight and using tea staining for the markers and hands
What about using a cotton bud as a tool of light rubbing would that work do u think ?
And I’m from scotland we’re it’s always fkin cold !!I was out the back of my house letting my dogs out
This would have sufficed.And I’m from scotland we’re it’s always fkin cold !!
You're British and that's how you all dress there. Got it.
The sliders I’m afraid are actually widely accepted as a go to in eny weather here in Scotland especially with guys like myself who have spent a lot of time in prison and don’t have eny fashion sense
but yep I should have just stuck to focusing on photos of the watch instead of what I had pulled on to take the dogs out at late o’clock at night 
It does work, but like I say a lot more comes off than you actually think, you can’t judge it when it’s in the bleach only after the rinse and dry. I’d only rub it lightly and not for too long, or you might get it a lot more washed out than you want it to be
