So, about a year ago I purchased a BBB via M2M and nearly got scammed because I received a misrepresented and abused watch on a similarly abused and very stained Gen NATO (https://forum.replica-watch.info/th...bay-blue-on-blue-oem-tudor-nato-strap.302212/).
The whole stuff went quite hot and the seller and I settled for an adequate refund.
So, being totally discouraged to wear the watch it went into the watch box for some weeks. Whenever I felt enthusiastic enough (plus the time...) I researched how I could make the BBB again and to become happy about it again. Tried out some tools and methods etc, then when it didn't work out put it back into the drawer and so on. Eventually it hit me like a hammer: I have a friend who is a goldsmith who I consulted and he gave me some tips on methods and tools. After failing with these on my own as well I finally sent it to him (living at the other end of our country) and I today just got it back!
I am totally delighted, he managed to get the worst scuffs out without really changing the overall experience of the BBB in my eyes. Totally awesome, I am so happy!
Please see a quick before/after on the worst parts.
It still looks like an used watch, that's totally fine because it is, but now I can really again enjoy wearing it
