Hi everyone
Just a quick write up about a build I just finished, always liked the look of the big crown Submariner and with a gen example being totally out of my budget decided to build one instead. Here’s a list of parts used.
Raffles 6538 case ( aged in the usual box of bolts etc way )
Raffles 4 line gilt dial ( aged with water colour paint and tamiya weathering powders )
Raffles golden submariner hands ( aged again with water colour paint and weathering powders )
Raffles bezel insert ( aged with bleach and scuffs )
Sellita SW200 no date movement ( no ghost setting for a date change )
Bond strap
I still need to dull the hands a bit more as they’re just a bit too shiny but apart from that I’m happy with the result. I may also try it with an aged rivet bracelet to see which I prefer.
Can anyone help with where to get an aged lime pearl from ?
