At that price I would even try one... guess for now I'll stick to Conshelfs and SP 109s

I'm interested ... how do you polish up those G250 faceplates ?

Micro mesh, mink oil, a lot of elbow grease with a spoonful of OCD.
How many dives does the sheen last, before you have to reapply the mink oil?

I actually have never re applied it. Holds up very well. It dulls a bit which I actually prefer. I prefer a matte look to shiny.

I've a few G250s (4) I'm preparing for sale, I'll post pictures pre sale later.
3x blue "S" blue diaphragms and one red "S" red diaphragm.
All will be updated (New stock OEM S-wing poppets, .218 springs, metal orifice and long crown X type balance chamber) or can sell as a kit prepped and ready for assembly (all face plates have been tidied up) if you'd like to have a go yourself, I can provide manual. I'll include a spare service kit too.
I'll open a new thread in the classifieds.
Price is a bit more as parts are now stupid expensive. Not looking to make money, just recoup cost.

The stones you'll be throwing at your D420 (D is for damned expensive) cost more than that. $30 is a heck of a good deal-well done.

D 4th dive, second tune, zero issues. I officially like it FWIW.
Dove Conshelfs straight after and although can't tell much of a difference cracking, certainly the D delivers noticeably more air.
Put it in mock octo position, (Cracking 1.1-1.2") zero issues. As per, Rob is right on the money.
I'll be keeping it for sure. More money coming your way next week Lex.
