Couple of questions about bead blasting

[Darra8]

I’ve been thinking about getting a blasted finish on this watch head for sometime now so thought I’d ask the question. Does anyone know someone who would be able to do this for me, and what could I expect to pay?



Thanks,

Steve

You may already be aware, but if that's your sea water diver, bead blasting does make the steel far more susceptible to rusting than other finishes. Can look very cool though.

Thanks, but it’s strictly a desk diver, just like all my other dive watches

You could PM our own bry1975, he bb'd a Longines Hydroconquest chrono' for me a few years ago, & did a fantastic job.

I didn’t think of doing just the shroud. I could start with that just to see how it looks, as it would be easier and cheaper
