Well after much deliberation and success of the brushing of my Navi SS band, I completed the brushing of the case tonight. It really does make the difference! Looks much better all brushed...The most difficult portion was the brushing around crown and pushers. I taped the crystal with masking tape for protection while doing the bezel...

Here are some quick photos I took:

Once again, great job. It must feel good to have taken the leap and have it come out great. Now you have planted the seed in the back of my head. Bravo.

really nice work. great attention to detail! you really got it to have a ncie brushed look rather than the "i did it at home with sandpaper" brushed look.

must've taken quite a long time? yeah?

Stunning transformation! If you didn't know this was a rep from the outset, your photos say "gen Breitling"; if you did know it was a rep with mods, you'd think "professionally done". Damn nice work.

Thanks crisk...Took about 2 hours on the band and just over an hour on the case...not as long as you would think. The Scotchpads work pretty quickly...
