Inspired by DWSmoot, I decided to try brushing my navitimer case. It was a lot more involved than I expected it to be, because I found that I had to remove the bezel assembly and crystal in order to get a decent-looking finish on the bezel. It's not perfect, as the side with the pushers and crown is very hard to do well. Have a look and let me know what you think! If you know a good way to improve on what I did, feel free to say it, too!

Thanks for the comments! The strap is a rep strap that came on a different navitimer, and I just swapped it onto this one because I love the look of a black dial and a brown strap. The black strap felt a little cold to me. I think the brushed finish works especially well with a brown strap, too.

The strap doesn't look too bad on a "pre-brushing" serie speciale either. Great job and great pictures trekracer20. [smilie=thumbsup.gif]
