fxrandy, you are very welcome...wear it well.....very best regards, kin tama

found this in my springbar box and ill never use it ...if anyone wants it just shoot me a pm and ill ship it worldwide via first class mail free...some extra links as well..very best regards, kin tama

heres one both dial and hands were done in the above described manner

yeah...just look at my past posts ..mostly in the rolex forum...

dunno what kind of look you are going for but for aged ,i use antique white acrylic paint than go back over with liquid brown shoe polish mixed with water ..then a bit of charcoal over the top

im thinking of getting a tornek rayville from dsn ff21...... do the hands look too thin?...any owners out there?

i usually use an emery board and small files to wear sharp edges .. then a coffee can full of nuts and bolts....then polish with a jewelers cloth ....then repeat the process...............

it took me a day to get used to it...but now im digging it in a most major way ...ive always worn steel on the explorer but this is so much more comfy....

lordy...............i wonder when its gonna splash down.......

i was thinking the same thing...either cromwell or gf..but alas no markings ..but i think it appears to be a pre jubilee......

anyone familiar with this band? marked rolex sa steelinox swiss made either 249 or 247 stamped also....straight 19mm ends..

yet again in the span of 6 months i have lost yet another red triangle rolex bezel insert for rolex vintage asian subs .....im thinking of switching from shoe goo to jb weld ....anyone have any ideas where these can be purchased?...best regards, kin tama

heres my small collection

hello, does anyone here drill lugs or know of an entity that does? id really like to get this explorer drilled but i lack the knowldege and what i assume would be patience....best regards, kin tama

remove the feet and use adhesive dial dots ........works in a pinch

dang... that white second hand is suhweeet....anyone know where they can be bought to fit reps?

hi guys, teejay..i apply the wax in layers to build it up..then apply charcoal to suit..the lume is stilll visible but not alot...brightlight,if you have a second hand ,when you get back id love to buy it from you..thank you very much, kin tama

hi, thank you for the responses...i have crystals...its the seconds hand that i really need ..i guess i can buy a set of hands on ebay and either crimp it on or bore it out til it fits..i just figured that the asian movements would have a standard size second hand...teejay,i used liquid brown shoe wax and charcoal pencil on the dial...i try to experiment with different mediums...i like to use watercolours as well .......kin tama

this is one i picked up and have become a bit attached to..my south african navy rolex..its a simple asian movement..heres the rub...on these vintage type asian movt subs that i have worked on i have noticed that on all of them you can pry up the crystal with your fingernail quite easily ..so its incredibly easy to do dial mods and pop the crystal back on...BUT....the other day i must have banged the watch pretty hard ..somewhere between the post office and home i lost the crystal and the second hand ....does anyone know where i can get replacement second hands for these movements? any any any help would be appreciated...kin tama

hi, very nice watch....where did you get that nato strap? kin tama

hi teejay, no its not pvd'd ..thats just my poor photography skills...let me know when you need a sticker...then we will have the only two sa NAVELATE milsubs in existence

heres another one....the watch is a silix asian i believe...i just redid the dial...the sticker is from an orange...HAPPY HALLOWEEN : )

here it is folks...a very elusive beast
