Well, well, well!:D It didn't take me long to make my mind about this painted bezel: With the help of pics I saw on another forum( A guy who dared Tissot and ripped off the paint on his blue bezel! Will he be punished? Thanks for the help from Stew77 for the link by the way! Well armed with my dremel with a wood-stick inside and some special alcohol for ripping paints off(As I had only that), I attacked the bezel during one hour and half. I didn't want to bade it in white-spirit in fear that it goes on the gasket under the bezel and eat it out, so I just applicated carefully the industrial "red-booze" I had, with a cotton tip. The dremel made most of the job with it's wood stick for not scratching the steel. A thin wooden tooth-pick and a brass needle did the finish in the corners... The paint residues around the numbers and inside the first minutes tags are the most uneasy but with patience, it comes off: It have to, because you can't look at a half finished bezel...It's just too horrible:D So here it is!! I must say! I like it much better now! The watch feels upgraded and it gives a higher quality touch somehow: Well, that's my own opinion and as I like unique or custom models, I'm a happy camper! When the all watch will be polished again, it will become one of my favorites for sureperfect.gif ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Same watch 2 hours ago;) ![]()
