Thanks so much for all the kind words, guys. I really appreciate that. I'm totally delighted by this watch, and it proved to be a fairly straightforward build. The only non-stock part will be a Clark crystal, which is now en route. Here are a few details about this project: It's a bit hard to see in these pictures but I aged and dulled the case, bezel and crown quite a lot, then turned to the dial and hands. I soaked them first in espresso, then in tea, but even after an hour they refused to pick up almost any color. So what I did was paint the dial and hands with espresso, tea and a very tiny bit of shoe polish. Then I sealed this tint in with matte lacquer, flicking most of the lacquer on with a toothbrush a little at a time, and allowing it to dry between coats, because slathering it on more heavily just washed away the coffee and tea beneath. Then I baked the hands and dial for maybe ten minutes beneath a 100-watt lightbulb. And voila. DuDro, thanks a lot regarding the strap. I was really happy with it. Unfortunately I can't point you to another one, if that's what you meant, because I decided to try my hand at strap-making and this is a one-of-a-kind piece that came from a $3 belt I got at Goodwill. It underwent treatment with several grades of sandpaper, steel wool, two colors of shoe polish, candle wax, beeswax and a few other things and came out looking rather well-used. Which is what I was hoping for. Thanks again for the all compliments, folks. Cheers!
