Thank you for great video, works great for aluminum bezel insert, no effect on ceramic, except lime pip was destroyed after 72 hours in bleach (no regrets, that was an experiment)
@@DIYWatchClub what is the eta? Any chance in the next 2 weeks? 🤞 Wanting to buy a kit. I just wanna see the case aging process first through. Can’t find any other UA-cam videos on it! 😆
I tried to bleach an aluminium bezel, but im guessing the bleach is not strong enough. I have used standard household bleach with 5% chlorite / 2.49g of natriumhypochlorite. Can you please tell me which cleach you used?
I feel the same way, yet I don’t mind seeing it on affordable, mod, and personal build watches. These watches are fun; therefore, we can be less serious with them.
I've seen Tudors fade after 3 years. It depends how much sunlight and abrasion your insert gets. If you're babying your watch it can look brand new after decades anyways. It's all about your lifestyle
Hello ! Great video . Can you please recommend the insert that would fit an Omega Seamaster 300M Professional mid-size 36 mm ref.2551.80.00 ? Thank you very much !
Dial bleaching is an interesting idea! But it's not often done since the dial is sealed in the case and the way it ages isn't like the way a bezel insert ages. We aged a dial in another video here: ua-cam.com/video/PoS638yFi3I/v-deo.html
Good point. We didn't use plastic tweezers because we know the exact pressure to apply on the tweezers to avoid scratches and even when accidents happen we eventually wanted the scratches. For those who don't want extra scratches, plastic-tip tweezers would be helpful here.
After a chloroform-induced coma, I have to thank you for pointing this out. Jokes aside, yes, rubbing alcohol+bleach can produce chloroform, depending on the type of alcohol and bleach used. We didn't point this out explicitly in the video, but it's good to let the rubbing alcohol dry before dipping the bezel insert into bleach. But anyway, with the small amount used here, it shouldn't be a hazard.
😂 what's the saying... one person's shiet is another's treasure lol Jokes aside, aged watches are really a thing and people pay extra to have their watches aged professionally. Check out outoforderwatches.com/

How about a titanium bezel insert?
How about bleaching a dial?
Dial bleaching is an interesting idea! But it's not often done since the dial is sealed in the case and the way it ages isn't like the way a bezel insert ages. We aged a dial in another video here: ua-cam.com/video/PoS638yFi3I/v-deo.html
When is the next part??
How about making hands like oxidation?
Interesting idea. Hands usually oxidize quite readily when left in the open for an extended period of time
Bro just dropped it in bleach xd
Use plastic tweezers not steel otherwise you risk scratching your nice beeched bezel insert.

Chloroform is delicious

How to make your bezel look like shiet…ok Got it!
