A true classic!!! I can't get enough of seeing pics of Señor Alaska's awesome watch. The fascinating provenance really kicks it over the edge, too. Gorgeous!
Hi Vly
Polywatch does work well. It is expensive for what it is though. And Brasso does work the same for much cheaper. The trick with both is to use the right amount, with the right amount of pressure, for the right amount of time (about a 1-2 minutes). If you go overboard, you will heat the crystal up too much and melt thru it. Same goes for Polywatch.
This piece of scrap is a little smaller than the PAM 1950. It weighs less as well. It is very wearable in actuality. It photographs way bigger than it is.
No actually the bezel and case are of the same exact alloy. I took the pics quickly after exposing the case to sulphur (the hard boiled egg in a bag trick). The bezel had a lotta oil that I had rubbed into it. The case didn't have the oil. I have since rubbed both the case and bezel so the patina matches.
Cheers
May I introduce you to my Esdee Mille Metri Bronze homage beast
As you can see, a little patina is in the works!
This watch is so wonderfully made. It truly is an engineering marvel.
I opted for a waterproof plexi crystal for that vintage look.
Certainly a grail watch for me and I won't sell it!
Very very highly recommended!!!
I hope you enjoy seeing these pics!
