Good as new...ly used
Having just finished writing this post the darn thing wiped everything out. Can I just say this sort of thing makes me insane with frustration.
To pull of this transformation I needed:
A new strap
A new battery
White acrylic paint
French blue acrylic paint (yeah, I'm that picky)
Watch jewelers tools
Nail polish remover
X-acto knife
Silicone liquid
And a boat load of Q-tips
Going though this process gave me a new respect for the people at G-Shock. Replacing the battery meant I had to remove 4 (four!) screws. Inside I found they lock down all the parts then cover it with a silicone pad to absorb, yup, hard shocks.
There are some dings on the watch that I can't do anything about but as you can see it's a great improvement. I wasn't expecting to see such a big change, but I'm inspired now. I'm looking around the house for my next mini project.
What refurb projects have you taken on? How'd they turn out?
