Hi, looking for a little advice...

Looking at personalising a SKX007 - if I was to buy a replacement bezel & set of hands would a jeweller be able to change them over easily enough? I know yobokies & 10watches get a good reputation for parts - are there any uk based guys who sell similar?

Was also thinking about getting the case finished in a satin (I think bry1975 does this) has anyone done this or do you know how good the finish is & rough cost?

Thanks very much & apologies for all the questions!

I'm not aware of anyone in the UK that can supply the parts but Bry may be worth a shout for that as well as the bead blasting work, failing that 10watches/Dagaz and yobokies have great reps for sourcing the parts alone. Try an independant jeweller, something family owned rather than a chain, for the fitting of the hands and insert, the insert is only stuck on so you could probably do that yourself anyway.
I've an SKXA053 (same case as a 007) that's been blasted, IMO it really suits the watch well
Have a gander through the threads here for other info.
