I am finally a happy owner of a Speedmaster Pro Moonwatch (ref: 311.33.42.30.01.001) and now looking to personalize it a bit. I do that kind of thing with most things I own, so this is just part of the course for me. Here are the mods that I am looking to do:

- I want to turn the finish on the case from shiny polish into brushed finish, aka speedytuesday special edition.
- I want to paint the three chronometer hands (large sweeping seconds hand, and the totalizer minute and hour hands) in mat red.

Do you fellas know of good contacts for me to have this done? Preferably on the west coast, or close to it.

Oh and I don't care about resale value as I am not going to be selling this watch for sure.

Appreciate your help!

 

I have not used them, but I have been pointed to LAwatchworks a couple of times by members that seem to be happy with what they have done.

 

Thanks! Reached out to them.

 

Did you buy the wrong watch?

 

heh, nope - just the one I could afford at the time. Plus, like I said - I like to customize my things.

 

To each his own. Being a car guy, I have to suppress a snicker or groan at some of the things that owners inflict upon their rides, but everyone appreciates things differently so I try not to judge.

Good luck with your efforts, though you may want to hold back on posting pictures of the results here lest some of the more judgemental among us give you a hard time about it.

 

Did you buy it new? If so your mods will likely invalidate your warranty

 

Bought it from "grey market". I am sure that mods will invalidate the warranty but I'm fine with that.

 

Thanks! You know it is funny but, when it comes to cars, I too am mostly an all stock guy. Except for jeeps that is.
