You are not alone. We are sick bunch. Some watches look better with a bit of shine. This is one of them in my opinion. My old Invicta 9937 diver was satin. It looked amazing.

That should look great! It's amazing how you can change the watch for the better with just a little sanding here and there. Post those pix asap Gaspar. ~Eric

Here is the BM with new bracelet arrived yesterday. I sized it using only a thumb tack and 1 of the removed excess push pins from the BM bracelet. I used the push pin to hold the collar in place while I push the pushpin against it with the thumb tack.

I sanded the endlink to a nicer satin sheen. the chrom effect on this particualr link looked too much for me.

Dig the yellow scheme...hmmm maybe?

I am actually in the process of sanding down the Bracelet as we speak. Pix to follow.

It's tough to get into the nooks. :X
