As far as the SA goes, is there only one version? I'm really wanting the white faced model, but I want to make sure I get the best one out there.
This one seems to be ok?
-
it is looking good Thogaa, how did you aged the insert ?
and what did you do to make the case look used ?`

jesper
Mess up Recipe:
240 grain sandpaper for the edges
400 grain for the case back and some
1500 wet for the crystal and rest of the case.
Then I stirred it around in a bucket of screws, bolts and nuts
for a good 10 minutes before spraying matte black stove enamel
on it and finishing with a dremel polish.
That's about it.
I removed the bezel ring - leaving the insert in place and dumped it
into a cup of urine - no wait - chlorine for app 10 minutes. Rinsed
it in water and put it back on.
Be sure to do this in baby steps - If you leave it in the chorine too
long it will look like this:
-
I learned that chlorine is quite good to age the ring
- but I made my bezel on the SM300 FUBAR - Must order new one
-
Maybe the subdials are on a the back?
Neat trick to photoshop the dials in from different models - but somehow they got it all wrong
-
I've been waiting for this model to be made - A Seawolf Chrono with the famous magic dial where subdials are stealthy. Wtf?
-
For tonight
-
Did some more work on the vint
-
I love that DJ radiator dial too
-
Just won't come off

The whole washer thing seems a bit extreme...
I think that would work even without the sewing machine though
-
Frank is right - no lug holes. Military Sub 5517 has fixed (non-removable) bars for strap.
Check

Haha, that comicstrip is a replication of my mind. Stop this unfair production of replicas!!!! By the way, I don't know if there actually is a replica 24mm pro diver, is there even a gen 24mm?
-
i meant more in a natural way ....
looks like your too inpatient
but looks good
cheers,
Frank
I'll polish it some more tomorrow and hurl some bleach at the bezel.
Somehow I think a natolike strap in aged leather might look good
By the way sewing machine is fine I used an anvil and 5 bricks in the dryer :-)
Here's what our Swedish friends use

Welcome to RWG drobbins
Other guys: Is the SO 24mm? I'd like the rubber strap to go with this watch but can't seem to find the right one at our friendly dealers?
-
congrats !
now beat it up
cheers,
Frank
Sort of like this?
-
haha, that's how I buy most my watches....starting to get there as we speak
Nothing like shopping on the Internet when you're [censored]. Always a surprise what turns up in the mail a few days later.
OT but funny I think:

Somehow I managed to drink a case of beer yesterday and got into a discussion about the coolest Breitling model. I then later ordered a SA from Andrew (at least according to my email).
Are there any issues with this rep? I think it looks brilliant in the pics on the TT site
I mean if this one is as good as the ASW...
-
Shame about the DW.
