I am going to do the wifes Tag Kirium which is a mix of polished and brushed next so will setup my portable studio and get some decent pics and walk through each stage step by step so you can see all aspects of what is involved. It should be more straight forward than the Bond omega as the bracelet consists of three sections, the middle of which is polished Re: Refinishing a Bond Omega Seamaster bracelet Brilliant post Paul, can't say I want to attempt that on my speedie bracelet just yet as it doesn't need it but may now have the confidence when it does!
Re: Refinishing a Bond Omega Seamaster bracelet Blinding job I have seen these done with dremels and the like but that looks every bit as good! Re: Refinishing a Bond Omega Seamaster bracelet Watch and bracelet received back this morning, and it's a great job!
Nice to have the watch back to how it should be. Some of my attempts have looked a little 'harsh' despite finishing with a glasfibre brush-pen.
By the way, Paul is an absolute gent to deal with Fellas Cheers Andy. I love the art of refinishing a SS bracelet. You don't need specialist tools, just a cape cod, some scotch brite, emery boards and a scratch pen, and you can achieve some great results.

Re: Refinishing a Bond Omega Seamaster bracelet Excellent post, great tips, may have to try that on mine as the centre links are scratched to buggery at the mo. Re: Refinishing a Bond Omega Seamaster bracelet fascinating!
Has given me the confidence to have a go at my bracelet - but I want the whole thing to have a brushed finish, dont like the shiny links.
Wish me luck :shock:. Nice work. I used to do that also to my Bond Originally Posted by swanny. Thanks for posting this up. Re: Refinishing a Bond Omega Seamaster bracelet Not something I feel I would or even could ever attempt - unusually it great to see a thread resurrected! It's just a matter of time Re: Refinishing a Bond Omega Seamaster bracelet your skill is inspiring - tried myself on my Seamaster's clasp reverse with metal-finishing blocks; however this doesn't remove all scratches and I now know from your thread that I should not rub it both ways!
My result was OK but not outstanding like yours. Wonderful workmanship, even I would dare to try. Nice, four years ago, how time flys! Holy thread resurrection! Originally Posted by gingerboy.

The time now is All rights reserved. This corresponds with a crimp in ONE end of the pin. When you insert the pin back into the bracelet, aligning the holes, make sure the crimp end of the pin goes in last. This means the crimp doesn't have to push through two of the notches in the sleeve. Make sure you push the pin back in in the opposite direction of the arrows. Push the pin in with a hard surface, making sure you align all the holes. I usually use the tool to recess the pin going back in.
This is a little tricky, because the drift pin wants to slide off the end of the bracelet pin. Be carefull here if you don't want to make any marks on you links. It's pretty easy with this bracelet, but much harder with the older style "Bond" bracelet, which has two shorter locking sleeves and more holes to align and push through.
Unscrew the part with the pin from the base. Hold that in one hand - by the knurled part. In the other hand take a pair of pliers or vice grips - with that tool grasp the base of the pin.
Twist the tool holding the pin tightly clockwise and counter clockwise.
