Thanks fellas!!!!  love the Sammy but felt it looked less grown-up in its original state.  Now the watch appears more vintage, and certainly more expensive. You are able to see the metal thru the sanded paint...it almost looks titanium. The bracelet too benenfits for the satin touch. Looks heavier and less chrome/plastic.  To remove the red off the sec. hand...I used nail polish remover and a q-tip. I did this as the watch was ticking about. I placed an index card under the hand to protect the dial and simply removed paint~E:D

 

Working with Pep Boys 2000 grit automotive paper is a breeze. Also, you can use the pen erasers for a nice satin look.
