SBBN 015, new watch, new finish, Thank you Jack.
This is the new SBBN 015 i recieved direct from Japan (DFJ) a few weeks ago.
I sent it to Jack about a week after i recieved it, for a new Xtal, while it was there i asked him about Bead blasting, he assured me it would do what i was looking for.
It exceeds my expectations.
Consistant soft finsih, no shiny spots, great attention to detail.
The new xtal is an improvent over the greyish tint of the hardex, but debateable to really being necessary, the Bead blast finish, for me, makes the watch even better that it already is, which is a truly great watch, now its a UGW, Ultra Great Watch.
Jack at Industrial Watch Works was great to deal with and clearly a very skilled craftsman, nice to find for a change.
Timely also, the entire process only took a couple of weeks.
Hope the pictures bring out the very nice finish, i am sorry i did not have the energy to change lenses, i may have to reshoot this after i see how it posts.
I cannot find a single detial the BBlasting missed, and no left over grit or lack of like new operation.
Really pleased in all ways.
