Remind me next time not to let anyone around my watches!! [emoji34][emoji34][emoji34]

By the way if you look at the dial, I feel it needs to be rotated a tiny bit clockwise, is this going to affect how the date sits in the window?

Oh no! What happened man?

I let someone try on your old Omega at work and then watched him rub the clasp on the desk as he admired the watch (on his wrist) from different angles [emoji53][emoji53]

I don't mind beating up MY watches but ain't gonna stand by and watch someone else do it.

I let the watch for a friend to have it for a week or so because his PO was stopped and we have sent it back to China, well it's the first and last time I allow such an exercise.. Titanium is not easy to be brushed isn't it? I see what I can do, maybe ask my dealer to get me a bracelet from BP or a clasp if possible..

^i had an old titanium Casio that I rebrushed using grit 800 (from memory).....I think it worked out OK. Maybe try experimenting with a "scotchbrite" cleaning pad on some sparelinks?

The dial looks fine man but yea, scotchbright or a very fine sanding block should do the trick.
My clasp on my SMP (really the whole bracelet) was pretty trashed so I used this and got this result. You just gotta keep it in a strait line so no swirl marks. [emoji106]

Just be sure to use the most fine grit side [emoji23]

Yes you can brush it. Order a special titanium brush off the bay. It's only around ten bucks and works great!

I like this watxh but has some issues.. SEL and the link next to it have high friction and are very rigid to move so not a nice smooth feeling there, crown will note screw in all the way, changing links can be hard due to the quality of the screws.. In general I love the feeling due to the reduced weight but all these small problems spoil the party..

But still I love it, maybe search for a gen???
