TUDOR PELAGOS REFINISHING

Again, apologies for not updating as much as I'd like to.
Life just catches up.
Less time and resources... cough cough *money* cough cough for watches...
But, a friend did purchase a pre-owned Tudor Pelagos but it was well worn...
I offered to refinish it for him and he gladly trusted me to it.
Nice of him to let me "test" my skills.



1st of all, these are all that's needed for a refinishing job.
Bracelet removal tool, a screw driver and a scouring pad.
I choose 3M branded ones.
You also need some masking tape to cover up places that you don't want to scour...



I started off with the caseback...
So I removed the bracelet to make the job easier.
Since the caseback has it's own grooves, you have to scour it according to the grooves...
Some scratches are kinda deep.
I could get them off by scouring more but i guess it's good enough.




After that, I moved on to the bracelets.
Again, just use the scour pad and using slight pressure, move it from one end to the other.
Rinse and repeat.
Do not scour it using back and forth motion.
It won't look good.




Before and after pictures.




How do you think I did?
My friend was pretty happy.
Not bad I reckon...

I will proceed with the review of this watch soon.
