Now that's an interesting one, it looks great

It's an awesome finish, I have to admit, I can see people following your example

Any time I really like the finish, it's got a real 'depth' to it, almost liquid in appearance And, it's another option rather than just Ti, polished/brushed SS or PVD I'm wondering how it might look if you were to throw in blue hands Tantalium-style...

I really like how the PVD fading worked out, nice work indeed

As to be expected, no change in my watch (although it's still keeping good time after it's little hissyfit a while back) but here's a new shot to show what I've been working on recently.... Yes, on saturday, work will be commencing on my traditional Japanese bodysuit The studio my friend/tattoo artist was at closed down, and, so as to not have to go back to working on pigskin, as well as trying different techniques, he said it would be more cost-effective for him to do my bodysuit rather than buying the flesh of swine As a result, I've been slaving away drawing up all the final stencils

TJ Thyne wears a blue sub on Bones, which apart from the dial and insert, in every other way looks like a regular 16610. Always wondered if it was a gen or, as they would say in Hollywoodland, a 'costume prop' PS If they ever re-make Jaws, he gets my vote for playing the role of Matt Hooper

Welcome indeed

Very nice

That's some beautiful work How did you manage to get the cracked indices, it's a stunning feature

That's definitely the look I'm going to go for with my project. I might even get brave and try and grind off the crownguards

I hope all is well for all

To make up for being hung like a hamster

Thanks for the clarification

I wouldn't like to say about accuracy, but they both look nice, a little vintagizing of the case, crystal and insert, and I'm sure they'd pass muster

Out of curiosity, is the presence of the red Daytona text a rep-specific feature, or was it a change in spec mid production run? I only wonder as I removed the text from my dial the other day (I felt it was a bit pale, rather than a rich red) and much prefer it without the text

I'd agree with the GMT Master, as you'll be able to pick up something reasonable out of the box in that price range, where other models might require various parts/modding And happy birthday :good

Cheryl tends to wear a Big Bang Aspen

And a very comfortable one it is too They're safe in my parts tray waiting till I can get a new movement for the watch I will make this thing work, insha'Allah

Welcome to the party

What you want to do, is get a pair of needlenose pliars, a sewing machine needle, and a small tack mallet. Use the pliars to snap off the point of the needle, so you get a tab like this: Put the pliars on a firm work surface with the opening of the wire-stripper upwards. Rest the bracelet 'edge on' on the top of the pliars so the 'open end' (which can look like a screw) of the pin is over the opening of the wire-stripper (You may wish to remove the bracelet from the watch prior to this move, and you may wish to put a layer of tape on the side of the bracelet to prevent it scuffing on the pliars) Take the modified needle, put the tip of the point against the end of the pin, and give the top of the needle tab a gentle tap (very gentle if bracelet is still on the watch) Keep tapping till the needle pushes the pin through a little way (you may need to hit it a bit harder) then use the needlenose pliars to pull the pin free Repeat the above steps till you have removed as many pins as needed to resize the bracelet

Can't seem to get the time from it... :bangin:

Based on above comments, I'd say the 2 in 20 looks good (not that I'm an expert )

Fantastic results
