use fine sandpaper…

@KJ2020 What grain do you recommend for smoothing out slightly sharp edges on bracelet lugs etc?

1000

800 or 1000 is good, depending on how sharp your edges are. I always recommend practicing on a junk part if you have one.

Here's a good thread to check out.

Thanks for the advice, but maybe I expressed myself poorly. I don't want to polish or brush the watch, but just make it "softer" to the touch by eliminating those sharp edges. Isn't the 1000 a little too rough?

I would like to change bezel because I see it very different from the gen. Are there any Viet Gen Spec bezel compatible with Arf? and if so where?

The bezel or the insert? This one should take gen insert

Bezel. For the insert I have already taken a gen.

 

[bowtiefanatc]

Why do you want to change the bezel?

 

[Zen_der]

Why do you want to change the bezel?

because the shape is different: it is thicker and it is different. Compare it to a gen and you'll notice

Fair enough

Hey man. How did you mod the SELs? Did you reshape them with sandpaper as well? I need a tutorial on this

 

[RobSe1]

does someone know the dimensions of the washer? outer/inner diameter and thickness?

you have to crush the top part and reshape the bottom part

 

[Zen_der]

Would the Viet Bezel fit the ARF? does anyone have the measurements?

Been grabbing as many vintage gen parts as I can. Just need to find a case with lug holes and my 2nd 16610 will be built.
