Hi guys.


Just want to share some pictures of my work. I will be updating the tread with more posts with more before and after pics as i polish more cases.


did this for a forum member on RWI.




=====BEFORE=====

this one by far NEEDED to be polished. it looked almost dead.


came in looking like coal.







no patterns on this side






the other side was somewhat better










back was just jet black









=====AFTER=====


couple hours worth of work.


drum rolll please.......





sides have patten now





during polish: lot more vibrant pattern on the front. not done yet, bit more to go...





back looks alott better





Some shots in normal sunlight coming from my window


patterns look a lot better. not too shiny like gen. looks like not so polished expensive marble.

This watch is my ultimate box queen. I just admire it on my dresser everyday...

I'm not a great fan of APs, due to personal preference, but you did a great job on this watch. It looks great.

So, I got my watch back following Shaidx's polish job - and I love it! The polishing is a bit of a misnomer as the watch is not shiny, it remains more a matte finish, but the patterns in the carbon have become more pronounced. Not overly so, just subtle enough to make a difference - I am very very happy with it, and am now just waiting for my Domi AR'd crystal and this baby will ROCK! Thanks, Shaidx!!! Here are some pics:
