I am a bit far away being in Australia, but I am sure someone will help you out from over that way. :nrocks:
Like said above, it will help you out more if you could give a few details of the job at hand.

Thanks chaps,

At the moment am just after a watch bezel turned from 316L stainless steel.

The OEM bezel is fixed and clips into place but a replacement could be easily cemented into place.

Rough sizes are O.D 38mm I.D. 32mm thickness around 3mm.

I'll speak to the client but I think the chap would be happy to pay £20-£40 for the part.

Usually I refinish parts but this one has way to many dings/chunks whacked out of it, the watch looks like it has been repeatedly been banged and scraped against a concrete floor.

Please check images below:-

By the way if any of you chaps are fans of coated tools give me a shout as I'm always having parts PVD'D or DLC'D.

Hi Bry

Couldn't the bezel be mounted to a chuck and skimmed or stoned a little??

Hi John,

Nar don't think so the bezel material is very thin on top.

If you don't try it, you will never know if you can do it.
