I've got 090679 which comes as a bead blasted body with a chrome bezel. I used a more abrasive Brown sheet metal cutting pad. I only did the bezel in the circular pattern as you did and it came out so beautiful. It's hard to believe what just a little bit of elbow grease will do with these things my watch is completely transformed.
Great tutorial, I really like doing this with polished watches as I can't stand the finish. I definitely need to take more care to cover up parts though.
Great video and tips! Just one question which I believe concerns the ones who will try this on a watch: is the stainless steel affected by this brushing? Meaning that it will be more prone to rust, corossion, or decoloration? I saw that in time, some watches tend to go from that silver tint to some reddish tint due to the sun, water, sweat and others... Looking forward to your reply!
Cheers. I haven't seen any increase in corrosion after the brushing and I've done it a few times. if there is any discoloration you can just brush it again to get it like new
Looking forward to your future mod. Brushing looks great.

Cheers it really improves the look of a watch. It's worth protecting the crystal etc and it only takes a few seconds
