That polished steelfish is really sharp. How did you get that done?


I had it done locally, it's actually not a very good job. The case is OK, but the person who did it missed the areas between the links that I specifically asked to have polished. So, when the bracelet is flat it looks fine. But, when worn and the bracelet bends around my wrist, the brushed sections between the links show.

There was a thread about polished Steelfish here a while back, that's what got me thinking about it. I PM'ed a couple of people and I got 2 good leads to have the polishing done, one in San Diego and one in Florida somewhere. I ended up taking a chance and having it done locally, since the jeweler that did it assured me that it was no problem and would come out nice. I wish I had sent it to Florida, I may still send the bracelet to have a first class job done.

If you want more info you can PM me, I still have the names and contact points for the 2 jewelers that were recommended.

EDIT: Here's the thread that started me thinking about having my Steelfish polished: http://www.breitlingsource.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3355
Is it also possible to brush a polished finish? Anyone know of such a thing? :?: :?:

It certainly possible, Boney. In fact one of the guys on here had a brushed Skyracer. If you wanted to try it I'd suggest getting it professionally done as taking to a nice polished finish with a Scotchbrite pad would leave me quivering in my boots! Image
