First time so be gentle!

This 9052 came as part of a very cheap job lot but it had a badly scuffed and faded bezel and aftermarket nylon strap.

New resin was ordered from Casio UK and between lunch and F1 yesterday I set about dismantling and general fiddling/cleaning; below is where I'm at as my polarising film hasn't arrived yet.

- New bezel srealthed using satin black aerosol paint sprayed into an old cap and then brushed on and excess wiped off using a solvent
- All lattering on crystal removed (I can't get to the letters around the extreme edge) using non acetone nail polish removed and a tiny scraper blade I found in the garage - no scratches at all.
- Silver "eye" repainted satin black
- G Button and function buttons repainted satin black (tried Sharpie marker first but not nice)
- Chromed pinhead rivets repainted satin black

It will be converted to negative display before neing bolted back together.
