Little 20quid eBay light reading find by giulio papi who finished this piece ...  

If you found that on eBay for 20 quid, that was a really good deal!

I still don't know how they polish those barrel wheels on the back of this watch!

Here you go haha

I don't think they use a black polish technique, you can't use a flat zinc plate considering the barrel wheels are concave. Unless maybe you use a special zinc plate that is curved? Who knows...
