Hey buddy .. glad you have a chance to show the beauty ... and not easy to capture !! what is like in the wild !! but never the less still amazing piece
how comes you removed the gen strap ?
Mr Z
I know its been a long time since any updates regarding the sub dial ... i can say its been a up hill battle and it's still not showing any light at the end of the tunnel ... but thankfully moved a few steps in the right direction ... here is final art with a few colour option ... please feel free to leave any comments regards the colour ... as they still can be re-adjusted ,,
also this is just the jpeg file not the prof which is in HD and work has been extended .. so the cutter guide have been removed in this file !!the matter of the red waffle part of the dial i will be tackling that my self ... as the company that was going to do it is taking for ever !!! also please not the colour are off in jpeg file here as they have been generated in pantone colours !!
Looks like the dial is taking longer the expected .. so I thought id mod the tachy ring to the correct bronze colour instead of the incorrect gold which is on the standard rep!!
As you can see now .. it should be bronze tone not gold
without the crystal
with the crystal installed ..
all media blasted and plated parts installed .... correct colour match to the gen ..!! its really coming together now ... finger crossed should have some sample dial images this week !!
finally back from the plater as they were on holiday all part you see have been plated then refinished to the correct ti colouring .. and blackened serial and limited number so totally visible now after the media blasting !!.. now all exterior parts are finished ... just the dial mod left which is in progress ..!!
well my friend Al ... no I could not see .. but now you have pointed out .. yes I can see now ... gorgeous watch for sure my friend ..I hope its been sold and the ashes have burnt you butt and made you see the light .... towards where you should be ... IN GP Heaven !! Don't sit on the fence to long as it will be in vain !!
hey Al
yes its seem you have displayed ... your tendency for S&m LOL with your fetish for cane beating lol.. maybe the reason being the .. magnetic draw towards my GP!!
come come Im sure you can treat your self to one of my Super Modded GP !! less Frankens maybe the way forward!! to true GP Love
UPDATE: everything is moving slowly but moving I aim to deliver all mods mentioned on my opening thread .. sub dial mod a sneak pre-view .. of what's to come !! not final colours
the dent can be reduced .. but with coarse grit sanding first .. I don't think its can be totally bushed out from what i can see ... looks a little to deep .as for the hex at 10 that can be polished out,,, with medium stone wheel first !!
yes just remove the case back and loosen the case lug washers .. and then just adjust the bezel screws , with a screwdriver until straight ..the re-tighten the lug screws
job done !!
cheers buddy ... more whipping need before I'd think about letting it go !!
Thanks r .... its slowly seeing the light lol ... enjoying the great weather ?
@Legend ... thank you for you kind words .. and everyone else that left me positive feed back on my first real mod !!
Its been a long RD to get where I am now ... but still few major mods left and I hope Ican pull them off ... without any hitches (dial mod )
just back from the plater .. and pretty much the final colour on the plating now maybe 1 or 2 shades lighter if not its saying the same .. plated in Ti matt colour effect on the left
here are a few more pics ..as the non rep case screws arrived today so I thought id post a few pics .. with the gen strap attached end links modded .... just waiting for the ti colour plating .. should be done this week !! (NOTE) in pics just the standard colour on the media blasted at the moment !! and dial mod work in progress !!
