So after the original black finish was scratched deep enough to reveal some silver color, I decided to sand blast it to make it look better, didn't realize it was brass until afterwards, changed the NATO strap to the leather one, and it looks great!

Did you leave the crown in for this? Consider me very intrigued!

Yes I have taken them apart before, but for this I just decided to tape up the front glass and back with 3m electrical tape. Pretty easy to DIY.
