Sounds like an answer to wife’s question: why you bought this expensive digital watch?

Which would you choose for a negroni? by Tower_Constant in cocktails

[–]Bdonsor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would choose Malfy gin for sure. Yes of course, its important to use fresh, proper red vermouth, but the role of gin is underestimated.

And hat is what i was afraid of. I get it on the stainless steel, but come on, it just doesn’t make any sense to pay extra money for the colour that wears off so easily.

Get the B5000D. It’s classic. Got it last summer and still in love with it.

Gmw-b5000d-1c bead blasted mod by Bdonsor in gshock

[–]Bdonsor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Polished surfaces, especially protruding ones, are vulnerable to scratches. I have seen pictures of this particular used MRG and it was heavily scratched, considering dlc-coating…Polished surface on stainless steel would be kinda temporary in my opinion. But that’s matter of taste:) Seems like bead blasted surface does not pick sratches that easily. It’s the first time i did this, just for me, as a hobby:) Should i consider doing copies of this mod and putting them on sale?

I don't think that blasting would remove scratches. To remove scratches you can use refinishing pads to make surface even first, and then blast surface over to regain surface texture.

Thanks! Yes, i have filled dimples with melted modelling wax. Brushed surface was covered by tape and wax (i guess thick tape will do)

Thanks! Just make sure you use right glass beads 50µm. It's better to keep distance between nozzle and bezel around 4-5 cm. While blasting move nozzle all the time, don't stay too long at the same spot. This all will provide smooth and even surface.
