and 
A microfibre cloth with nail varnish remover should get rid of the blue paint. A Cape Cod cloth should give it a shine.
Beyond that, it will need a vacation with Breitling!

| Post subject: | Real or fake? Colt II |
http://www.ebay.com/itm/280797832131?ss ... 1497.l2649 I just bought this. I was told the numerals on the bezel were painted blue by a watch dealer the previous owner dealt with. Thats the first thing I plan to remove. I'll either use acetone and do it myself, or have my jeweler look at it. Either way, I plan on having at least the face refinished if not the bracelet too. Thoughts? |

He made a Tag that I had look brand new when it was very visibly used. |
