Navi Brushed SS Band COMPLETE!!! - Lots of Pics

[DWSmoot]

Well here it is..my Breitling Navitimer SS band modded with brushed finish. My concerns in tackling this project were much greater than the actual work performed. I am personally very happy with the outcome and it gives me greater confidence for future mods. Thanks to everyone for the interest in this project and durng my search for information...

Here we go...

Going to do the case too?

And is yours the older or newer 7750? If it's the older.... do the ETA 7750 transplant!

Old/New...not sure. this is it:

Asia 7750 Valjoux Working Chronograph movement, 28800 bph from Joshua...

Still deciding on whether to do the cse or not...

Going to do the case too?

great job! it doesnt look like it was done at home.
how long did the entire process take u excluding breaks?
does the brushed band on the polished case look weird irl?

Took about 2 hours of actual work time. It looks pretty ggod on the polished case as do many other watches with the same combination. I really want the case polished but it will be dificult around the crown and pushers...
