  1. Some work I’ve done in the past... Cheers from Spain!
  2. Bell&Ross BR02 lets pictures talk... lumework made in Spain Lumeee... one more...
  3. well, you are absolutely right...there is no reason for that kind of mod. maybe i'm to nostalgic and like it to look more "rugged". like you allready said, plexiglas can be polished easy.
  4. the writting is not etched, it's like the genuine one.
  5. thank you guys for your positive feedback! @murph; what a beauty you have there...awesome mods!! it's funny,...i did not realize the gen has a white second hand, thank you for pointing it out, i will paint mine to. how did you manage it to shape the case, it looks great! thanks again for the input, i really apreciate it!
  6. hello RWG i would like to share my seamaster 300. after receiving it from toro bravo decided to do some "vintage work"... the mods done are; -full dial & hands relume -dissembled the case, gave it some sligthly hits with a small hammer, scratched it, than bead blasted and finally polished it -dipped a paper in acetone and "rubbed" slightly the acrylic glas -replaced the stock caseback-gasket by a larger one -lubed all gaskets -reglued the bezelinsert with epoxy -rubbed the bezelinsert with carpolish -nato-strap -pressure test 6atm the eta movement is keeping great time. how are yours experiences with this models (is there anyone with the same model)? any constructive feedback is wellcome. : ) thank you for watching fleed
  7. thank you for your positive feedback...i'm glad you like it. it's a pleasure to share with the community.
  8. well, i think the clark crystal is perfect...i would only mod the bezel-insert and pearl. this watch feels gen-like.
  9. thank you all for your positive feedbacks. update: watch passed today the 8atm pressure-test.
  10. hi all Last week i received my new Aquaracer (from Toro Bravo). After wearing it during the first night i decided to spend it some decent lume... this watch is really well made and the eta-movement keeps great time. thank you Toro Bravo! cheers fleed
  11. thank you! well probably the only "fixes" i would do are; pearl and insert swap. this watch feels gen-like. best rep out there.
  12. hello RWG! i would like to share with you some pictures of BK's new submariner...maybe they are helpull for those members who are looking for one. thank you for watching. fleed there are some members having toughts/concerns about the BK bezel-pearl, i think, it's not a big deal (you can replace it by a watchmaterial pearl or mod it yourself by using the epoxy mod) i decided to mod it to show the full "potential" of this great watch. here some pics of the same watch with modified bezel pearl at least: BK is the real deal...great service and awesome watches! thank you BK!
  13. update: since the original lume was bad applied i decided to remove it and applie new one. hope you like it... kind regards fleed
  14. i'm sorry, i no idea where you can get a spare bezel. there are special bezel removing tools...but you can also use a watchmaker knife.
  15. it's not easy to remove the SFSO bezel once removed, you have to repair or replace the retainerspring because it will deform during the bezel removal on this image you can clearly see the retainerspring kind regards fleed

    SOSF

    hi i relumed my asian steelfish myself and now i'm thinking about relume my black swiss sosf but im not sure if it's really worth the effort, since the stock lume is pretty good applied on mine. if you wish to get a good result, it is important to remove the old lume first. hands of the steelfish are very delicate, so you have to be carefull to not scratch the chrome. anyway...it will hardly look like the original aplied lume, so it's a personal decision to relume or not. white asian with noctilumina black swiss with stock lume stock lume vs upgradet lume kind regards fleed
  17. uff...i forgot to mention that i have bead blasted the case to get a matte finish. this is how the watch looks original (like you said; bling steel).
  18. hi all...it's me...fleed from spain. i know, i'm not a very active posting member here...i'm more lurking around here. this time i would like to share some pictures of my skyland i got from peter. the general finish of this watch is very good and the asian 7750 seems to be in good health keeping great time. after greasing all gaskets i decided to do a pressure test up to 8atm which the watch has passed. i only can recomend you this watch. thank you for watching and kind regards from spain fleed
  19. does you know, who's selling the green inserts? thank you
