Update of an Old Friend

[GTaye]

Haven't purchased any new watches lately, but I did refresh an old friend and thought I would share. My Seiko SKX007 was my daily wearer for about 4 years, but started looking a little rough. I've never cared for the shiny surfaces, either... too prone to scratch.

So I sent it away to Jay at Motor City Watch Works, and received her back yesterday. Now it looks like a tool watch should, IMO. Props to Jay for some great work at a reasonable price.

Sadly, I did not take any 'before' photos but the case and caseback was pretty well scratched.
Here she is now:

MCWW pricing is on their webpage for all their services.
The cost of my beadblasting was $62.50 including return shipping. He also blasted the tang and buckle of the dive strap

Very nice!

I have a ~15 year old Pulsar I am kinda fond of; may have to have it cleaned up this way as well.
