  1. Beautiful watch! How's the lume on them? and I dont get it why they don't REP the non-chrono ones! I've been waiting for them!

  3. Thanks guys! @ubi, the dial orientation was inspired by the Vacheron Constantin American 1921, one of there expensive model!
  4. DIY Distressed RAD...with a twist:
  5. Assembled another Rad Homage, this time using an old dial that I painted with three layers of paint.....red/yellow/black and then distressed it by using a Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge........ When I got just the right effect/look, I applied 3 coats of Glow Inc. Ultra Blue Lume to the hour markers and a coat on the hands (Drying time=24 Hrs each coat)! Here we go: The Dial after the 2nd coat of Lume (I used the Pink or #60 flat screw driver to apply the lume): Lume shot before assembly and final buffing of the dial: Back and movement after it was installed on the case (Movement is the PVD Asian 6497-1 from Getat): Pictures of the assembled watch .....with a twist: Front: Back: Trying to capture the PVD color of the movement: Lume shots: A 10 minutes later: and the wristie:
  6. Hey S-! I had the feeling this was coming! Congrats Amigo.......and to your future other half!!! May your joining together be a Watch .....oppps, I mean a Match made in heaven! F-
  7. @vlydog.....................Thanks! #TJ......thanks Amigo! From a spare dial I got from another Getat project! A little bit of torture seems to work on the dial~ I just removed it from the case and movement to work on it a little bit more! @ubi! Wow! Too early! What part of the Mile High are you? If I come out this summer for my annual fourteener trek and whitewater rafting (Royal Gorge), I'll PM you! Cheers! Hike
  8. Looking good! Love this model! Wear it in good health!
  9. Hi! I do, but not sure if they are real sapphire or not? I trust Tat, though. He comes across as somebody trust worthy! I have exchange a lot of emails with him and he always respond on time! Also very eager to take your comments and inputs! Any problems I have with my orders he personally takes care and it is always done on a very timely manner! Not to oversell Getat, but I wish all our collectors are the same! I rate him as excellent overall! BTW: The movement I use on this is a spare Swiss6497 I have. It had a stripped Set Lever, so I cannibalized a spare Asian6497 to get this one working!
