Media blasted my Orient now it is a tool watch. I was setting around the house and thought I never wear my Orient any more, so I decided to make the watch more work friendly.

Thanks gentleman!:D Ken it is very quick and easy to do, make sure the bezel is masked off properly. Glass media getting between the case and bezel creates more work.

Now all it needs is a little DLC coating to make it perfect ;)

If you know someone that has a media blaster and 100 grit glass media. They use to be called sand blasters but silica based media is a carcinogen. Masking off the bezel and crystal is as easy as some masking tape and card board. Toilet paper role is not a bad piece to use. Just cut a slit so that it can be sized to fit the bezel, and masking tape. You need to try it on some scrap metal first or you may get in trouble.
