Bleach the bezel insert into a faded color! This is part 3 of our watch aging guide and this time we'll age the bezel insert using a combination of insert bleaching and stone washing.
This guide focuses mostly on colored aluminum, stainless steel, and ceramic inserts. But if you have a colorless plain stainless steel insert, the techniques mentioned in this video still work to a certain extent.

Thank you for great video, works great for aluminum bezel insert, no effect on ceramic, except lime pip was destroyed after 72 hours in bleach (no regrets, that was an experiment)

Hello ! Great video . Can you please recommend the insert that would fit an Omega Seamaster 300M Professional mid-size 36 mm ref.2551.80.00 ? Thank you very much !

I tried to bleach an aluminium bezel, but im guessing the bleach is not strong enough. I have used standard household bleach with 5% chlorite / 2.49g of natriumhypochlorite. Can you please tell me which cleach you used?

How about a titanium bezel insert?

How about making hands like oxidation?

@DIYWatchClub 9 месяцев назад

Interesting idea. Hands usually oxidize quite readily when left in the open for an extended period of time

Chloroform is delicious

After a chloroform-induced coma, I have to thank you for pointing this out. Jokes aside, yes, rubbing alcohol+bleach can produce chloroform, depending on the type of alcohol and bleach used. We didn't point this out explicitly in the video, but it's good to let the rubbing alcohol dry before dipping the bezel insert into bleach. But anyway, with the small amount used here, it shouldn't be a hazard.

Use plastic tweezers not steel otherwise you risk scratching your nice beeched bezel insert.

@DIYWatchClub 9 месяцев назад

Good point. We didn't use plastic tweezers because we know the exact pressure to apply on the tweezers to avoid scratches and even when accidents happen we eventually wanted the scratches. For those who don't want extra scratches, plastic-tip tweezers would be helpful here.

How to make your bezel look like shiet…ok Got it!

@DIYWatchClub 9 месяцев назад

😂 what's the saying... one person's shiet is another's treasure lol Jokes aside, aged watches are really a thing and people pay extra to have their watches aged professionally. Check out outoforderwatches.com/
