Few weeks ago picked up a Steelfish.
The ops description of the watch was spot on few light scratches here and there,swirlies on the clasp etc.
This was reflected in the price.
So I bought with the intention of sending it for a refurb/polish/brushing etc.

Having read a few posts and reading H&V on another forum i decided to send it to Paul(gingerboy tz uker).
Would like to say from the moment of contact with Paul I was of the opinion that my watch was in safe hands.
Once Paul received the watch an explanation of the work he was going to carry out was made available.
The whole process took just over a week and i received the Steelfish back this morning(Paul insisted that no payment until I had seen the finished product).
Well I would just like to say that the watch has returned in pristine condition and like new.
Big thank you to Paul and heres a few pics of his work.

Apologies for the amatuerish photography hope it doesn't detract from Pauls work.

Wow, he's certainly made a nice job of that!

Wonder what equipment and products he uses? Did he tell you?

Hi Frank,

Just had the watch and bracelet re-brushed and polished?

Will post some more shots over the weekend.

That looks fantastic Colin. Great result mate.

Great price and a fast turnaround.

Sounds like this guy is someone we need to know about.

Nick.
