A repeat customer wanted me to take his Date Command to "mirror finish". Hopefully I've earned my fee. 8)

Nicely done retroleds. That looks like a lot of hard work. If you're in the market for customising LED's, my wishlist would be a black chrome version of this Already a beautifull watch, but i'd be interested to see how it comes out.
The other day, my computer beat me at chess. It was rubbish at kick boxing though.

leddwatch - hey, it wasn't MY desire, but for $100, who am I to complain. :) Understand, this guy has 7-8 Pulsars I've worked on, Rolexs, GPs, all kinds of top end stuff. After I sent him the picture he wrote back saying he could now start a rap career(he's an older guy, so it was funny). :lol:

Obviously I had to first remove the glass, polish, put the glass back, carefully give a little final buff...a neat experiment on someone else's dime. 8)

Ive bought them in that state before where sellers have polished them up and then listed them as new old stock! The reason I think its horrid is that it ruins the lines of the P3 and makes it look fat and ugly, I know that sounds funny but the brushing changes the way a watch looks to the eye. These are my opinions anyway, dozens of people may send you P3s and 100 bucks for a polish, who knows....... :!:
