I just sandblasted my old SKX case. (Easy)
I recently shared my attempt to sandblast a brushed watch bracelet. It was simple, cheap and actually worked. Here's the post:

After successfully sandblasting my bracelet I tried my hand on this SKX case. And here are the results:
One thing I really thought was awesome is that, there were deep scratches on the case where I tried to remove the bezel and sandblasting smoothed it out almost perfectly.
I have a field style Seiko dial coming so ignore the San Martin placeholder.
Very cool project if you like the gunmetal style finish of sandblasting. Follow the link and try it out.
Newbie on a mission to get all I can out of this beautiful watch journey. My philosophy is that life is too short to not pay attention to the passing of time.
Thats awesome mate, nice one 👍🏻👍🏻
I did mine that way too.
I did mine that way too.
Awesome!
Did you use the same technique as with the bracelet? I am super tempted to give it a try with one of my cases and I don’t want to invest in any additional equipment :)
