What do you think? It needs something as it's very flashy at the moment.





You don't see too many of these around so I don't want to risk ruining it, though I'm 99% sure this was not made in the Soviet era, despite what it says on the dial. redface

Perhaps a brushed effect on the bezel and something heavier on the case? I'm not sure. I don't suppose anyone could photoshop it for me? smile

Yep, I think it'd really benefit from that.

I'd like to get my SKX007J done. Bry - if you're out there, answer your PM!

Hi Al,


Please remind me what email you sent as I easily get 40 watch emails a day not including PMs.

In my case, a PM asking if you can strip down my Seiko for bead blasting for me, rather than me do it myself. If so, what's the cost?

I'll drop you an email Bry when I've made my mind up what to do. I think I'll live with it for a few days and then make a decision.

A couple more photos that show it in better light. I've been playing 'army' today biggrintank
