Hi Gents,

had some inspiration a few days back from this great old thread by Watch Dude :)

Got an old case 113 from a member deal last week and there are three things I did not like (the dial, full of flaws, does not bother me that much by the way)
1: CG Pin
2: blue tinted crystal
3.: low CP (will use an old cybee thread here :) )

So I started with ordering a H3 CP from Cousins yesterday for part 3 but started with part 1.

The link for the tutorial I used:

All I needed was like 5 minutes of time and these tools.

This is what the CG Pin looked before filing down, polishing and then brushing with some special brushing material I got from Wiz.

The CG Pin´s not to good, eh?

Work done. This is the result.

I must say I am happy with the result with my poor skills.:picard:

So I did the same with my 99$ Arktos. Result is OK in my eyes too.

Before:

Hope you like the results. Comments as always welcome. Thanks for looking.

Well done but picture #3 and 4 are corrupt.

Good work Patrick. Things are always more satisfying when you do them yourself.

Nice job. :)
