Wouldn't be too difficult. Simply paint and sand away. the paint in the grooves would remain. Just a thought...who knows.

They both would look good.  How are you going to clean the other out to change it, and what kind of paint are you going to use if you do.  I personaly like the yellow with the black, after seeing Ken's yellow monster.

Not too sure yet about the paint. I would probably just lay a coat over the exhisting black paint.

I don't even think you would have to "sand".  I think all you would have to do is set the color in, and then, while still wet, wipe away.  Granted, some color in the grooves would be "dragged out" on the 1st application, but with a repetition or 2, it should cover quite nicely.  The crystal would need to be properly coated with "vasoline" petrolem jelly to prevent the color for getting between the bezel and the crystal if you were to perform this without removing the bezel.

Or, you could send it to Kent Parks and have all or part of the bezel painted with super lumninova. :D:):dude:

Sound like a plan.  How do you get a hold of Ken Parks?  I may have work for him to do on an older watch I have.
