What Can Be Done?


Recommended Posts

I purchased a watch from a thrift store. In fact several watches.   The watches are not running therefore put  new batteries in each. Scuff marks and scratches were evident but the crystals are fine. One watch I buffed and polish I thought it was all stainless but the bezel was part of the case it turned out to be I do not know..... This is what it looks like now .. Can this be fixed?

agreed Frenchie it looks like brass. some cases allow the bezel to be removed and you could get it re-chromed. An alternative may be to get it gold plated (for something different) but this part wears hard. You will need a press to get it back together again

If it is left as is, it is likely it will tarnish over time.

    • Er yeah, not quite sure how to respond to that one Mark 😅. But yes i fully appreciate what you have done here today. I look at it like this, i dont know if you have children Mark,  i have a son and a daughter both around 30 years old but still my babies. I remind them every couple of months, " if something happens to me, i get run over by a bus, i have a heart attack while out running, I eat a very dodgy burger, you know where the spare hidden house keys are dont you, you know where the stashes of money are don't you, you know the things i have that are valuable don't you, you know how to deal with my finances don't you, you know the value of my watchroom and where the value lists of all the tools and watch collections i have are dont you, dont mess it up and dont get ripped off i want you to be rich when I'm gone "  This forum is your baby Mark, i dont think i need to say any more. Appreciate your time Mark, live long and prosper matey 🖖 Oh my flipping god, who's old enough to remember when the Iron lady came to power, i remember the old bag took my morning milk away from me. So I'm only going to ask you this once Rich  " where is Ross and where is Nucejoe and what have you done with them " Ross my allstar and Nucejoe one of my wingmen, i aint happy Rich not happy at all. 
    • Thanks Richard - Send me a PM - we shall discuss and get you set up 👍
    • It's a good point, we really love the forum and are scared of losing it. @Mark do you mind if we exchange contact details?  What happens if you don't wake up in the morning? Hopefully not but @Neverenoughwatches is correct, who knows. Could the site be passed on to someone else? It would be a  travesty to loose contact with each other and also so much information.  Please note, the question arised because we care so much.  We wish that you will live for ever but none of us will.  Beat me too it.
