In Honor of the Forum Upgrade -- Post your Upgraded Watch!!

By that I mean a watch that:

you have had serviced, refurbished, cleaned up, polished or fully restored, or

that you have improved by changing the strap or bracelet or restoring the finish yourself

or that you simply bought from an ugly friend and gave it an owner upgrade!

Here are a few of my upgrades and tranformations.

This one went from this "crayon" redial:

to this

A characterless strap

To a much better presentation

Polished yuck

to brushed art


Another over polished apparent example of 80's excess with garish shine

Changed to something shimmeringly brushed and beautiful to behold

Sometimes, merely the correct lighting reveals remarkable characteristics otherwise overlooked


Let's see some of your upgrades. . . and transformations.
