My latest Zodiac beadblasted

[Datsun240Z71]

Picked this up for my birthday in February preowned on another sales forum. Had a titanium plating that was not going to hold up long term, so I sent it to Jay at MotorCity WatchWorks (http://motorcitywatchworks.com/works.html) for beadblasting, and here's the result. Jay was great in communicating and does great work, and total turnaround time was two weeks.

Hey Randy - welcome to DWC.

That Zodiac is sweet. Mattcantwin had one of those, I think. Looks really good.

If you don't mind my asking, how much did the bead-blasting cost? Would be nice to have an alternative to Jack for those times when he gets swamped.

That was Matt's! Small world.

I am the proud seller...


Welcome, Randy!

Hey guys. Yes it was Matt's.

They charged $40 to blast the case, $35 for the bracelet, and $9.50 to ship it back. Total $84.50.

They have a full price list for their services on their website.

I can't say enough about their service, or how pleased I am with the watch (thanks again Matt!) and the results of the blasting job.

That turned out pretty nice Randy. And that's a helluva price to do it and outstanding turnaround time. Jack's turnaround times seem to fluctuate and can be long, but that's the cost of doing great business too. SOunds like we've got another option for finishes with Jay at motor city. Does jay do any other watch services, like movement servicing or other applications?

Looks great randy! Jay is the best at getting stuff done and out! Just ordered some killer hands from him and had them in two days! Been waiting 16 days for 3 dials and a couple handsets from hong kong!

That Zodiac looks sweet! Here is a pic of a Marcello C Titan he beadblasted for me a while back since the old owner was super rough on it.
