Here is a very simple, stealthing project. I am planning to do a lot more to my little DW-5600 like reverse the display, stealth the faceplate (if possible), but for now I wanted to stealth the bezel (remove the white paint). The first step was to gather all the necessary equipment. For me that means Goof Off (not Goo Gone or any similar sounding products), a small ceramic bowl/dish (plastic ones may melt with the Goof Off inside it) this is one I made myself, a small pair of tweezers, and an old toothbrush or scrubbing brush. I removed the bezel from my DW-5600 and poured just enough of the Goof Off into the bottom of the bowl to cover the bottom.

I have been sketching out my own ideas for watch designs for several years, based on all of the individual components that I like about the watches I own. My collection has gotten quite large because of my constant quest for the "perfect" watch - a watch that encompasses all of the required elements for a very functional and practical watch. An opportunity presented itself recent to submit some of my designs into a competition to have the winning design put
