  1. Happy Birthday Velasco!

  2. Happy Birthday Velasco!

  3. Happy Birthday Velasco!

  4. Please do! I'm really interested... Cheers
  5. I've always used lye (caustic soda), either in drain cleaning products or caustic soda pellets. The best IMO is caustic soda in small pellets or flakes, as you have more control of the process since you can use a small amount and check the results. I've also noticed that the better the quality, the more uniform and slow is the fading process. Best of luck
  6. Very nice pieces. The work on the 5513 is amazing. But you're right about the insert on the 1680. Some inserts when bleached are not uniformly faded and show that kind of pattern which looks not "natural".
  7. Great guy to deal with!

  8. Hi Velasco, just wanted to know if your Rolex Submariner 1680 was still for sale... I will send payment ASAP if it is still up for sale & you are OK to send to Australia.

    Just let me know the final price including shipping.

    Kind Regards,

    David.

  9. Thanks guys for your anwers! I was guessing this could be an early version of the 6152 DSN that he built using a Fiddy case, but I'm afraid I'm not trained enough... More opinions would be highly appreciated. Cheers, V.
  10. Guys, need a little bit of advice from the experts here. I've purchased a 6152 and I'd like to identify the origin of this watch, especially the case. Does this look like correct or wrong in any way to you? I. e. modern pieces, etc. Thank you. V.
  11. Hi Guys, I had recently a very interesting discussion with another tritium addict about what makes tritium to age so beatifully on our watches. We didn't reach any conclusions, but at least we managed to get some pictures of good old tritium dials... Let me introduce: - a 5513 (5.7 mill) - a 16800 (6.4 mill) - a 1675 (1.2 mill) Hope you've enjoyed the pics... Cheers V.
  12. I happen to have one at hand, but I'm not a good photographer and I can't get it out the case... Anyway, please let me know if I can be of any help. V.
  13. Thanks very much for the kind words... I have to say I caught the Vintage rollie bug in RWG long time ago... and it's getting worse every day... The watch came with the Oyster 9315 band... love the idea of having a jubilee on it but the prices are just mad. The "PATETED" extension is one of the few Rolex failures and it's well known amongst collectors. I'd like to ask the experts: I thought the hands to be luminova but they are completely dead (no glow at all). Although the dial shows some patina, the hands are still pristine. So I guess they're tritium... Am I right? Thanks V. P.S.: "travesty"...
  14. Just wanted to share some pics with you all... Thanks V.
