Polishing is the devil lol.its all about keeping the original lines.i can understand if you buy a noob v7 sub and the brush ing is wrong across the lugs like I've seen lately then a pro rebrushing is ok.but if you get dings scrapes and scratches you should leave them imo
This. Especially on tool watches like a Sub, I find the piece has way more appeal when it has some dings from normal use. Cleaning some of the most obvious desk dives sometimes I do, but the big hits are like scars, they add history to the watch!
Really good job on this
andrei01 by the way, I remember reading your thread when you posted the method and I must take my hat off, especially for two things:
1. The incredible amount of research, trial and error and proper development you did. Some people come up with a well finished process and think they can reproduce it, but it's not that easy if you haven't developed it properly like you did. These examples in this thread prove you have a real method to follow.
2. You made it public since day one. I can't stress how important is this to me, and this forum. We have seen plenty of examples of people with magic formulas that keep to themselves, and to me it's not what this community is about. And you not only shared it but also proved that you can still offer that service, which demonstrates that making it public doesn't mean everybody will steal your business. All the contrary, it enriches the community and now other people that were investigating how to improve the bracelets can work using your info too. Who knows what might come next.
Great respect for a great contribution
andrei01!
