brushed rather than blasted ? ithought that  the blasted might match the case better  . thanks for  sorting out the size issue for me tony ,but now you have given me another dilema.

watchadoos only come in brushed or polished that I know of and the 22mm fits perfect Ian!hand6.gif the one pic Ken had posted of the blasted watchadoo on the Orsa was sent out for the blasted finish which a few vendors can do like MKII or IWWwatch2.gif

I hate to resurrect an old thread, but I figure it's better than creating a new one.

I have a MKII Blackwater, and wondered if the brushed or blasted finish would match better.  The blasted finish from watchadoo looks rougher than the fine finish on the MKII.

TIA!

Actually, Watchadoo does offer the blasted version for a few bucks more (I guess he sends them out)...at any rate, 22mm is the size and here's a couple of pictures!

Yeah, it's that 2nd pic that makes me wonder how fine the finish would be on the bracelet.  I just looks so much 'rougher' than the 1st pic.

Anybody have better/actual pics?

Hope this helps ,but i am not sure the photo helps any. It is a great finish not at all rough.

I recently put a sandblasted Watchadoo on my silver Sea Angler and it looks great! IMHO. The watch is getting a lot of wrist time and the band finish is a good compliment to the case finish.

That is just the angle I needed!  The photos Ken showed (I didn't realize you took them, thanks for the info) just must have been the angle making it look really rough.

This angle really shows me how well the finish matches.

Thanks everyone!  Now I just gotta order it Bouncy.gif!
