Hi all!
After several weeks waiting...the project is nearly finished!!! Received today MY's envelope with my tightened bracelet!! Here are the pics... uploadfromtaptalk1460752432276.jpguploadfromtaptalk1460752444347.jpguploadfromtaptalk1460752459911.jpguploadfromtaptalk1460752472037.jpg Amazing work! Finally needed laser welding and three new screws. I want to say I'm extremely happy with the final result but only bit sad with the screws alignment and other details. My experience with MY: great communication, great professional and fantastic final result!! In a few days I'll fix the bracelet to the watch and ... DONE! Have a nice weekend! uploadfromtaptalk1460752824536.jpguploadfromtaptalk1460752852807.jpguploadfromtaptalk1460753111547.jpg |

Whoa, that's looking weird... I'd try to swap these screws, maybe they were put back in the wrong place after refurbishment. That's my guess actually.

Thanks for the post. I love to see the step by step process. I don't think I would have the patience for this.

How did you refurbish the bezel on the explorer?

Hi,
Sorry about my late reply but I've stopped my repairs till September due to summer season. I used a special cylindrical brush tool for dremmel. Also I built a stand for the bezel to keep always the same position during brushing. This position is very important because if you don't do this you can take out the paint of the numbers. Finishing step is by hand with different brushes to homogenize the surface brushing harder on deep dents. Hope I've explained well. |
