TeeJay

Actually, it is a seconds at 6 movement, and surprisingly keeps pretty good time I might actually make a project out of it one day

Cool watch designs, but absolutely nothing like any Breitling I can think of, so re-brand it, find a Chinese factory, and sell them in their own right

I picked this one up in Spain a few years back...

Awesome result, I'll have to look into that, I'm always keen to try new and better lumes

It's a hard watch to take off, isn't it The markers're so easy to read the time from

I think that'll look really nice on the decal paper I think one of these would be ideal to case it all up in

These dial decals are from late 2009... Sorry for the poor quality pics, to the eye, the black is rather stable, and the lume is a nice vintage off-white

Any time, bro Of course, always a matter of to each his own, I was just really disappointed how the watch looked in person when I tried it on, that it didn't live up to the standard your photos had set

Anything artistic like drawing, model-making etc. For a while, I got into Star Wars costuming, but not done it in years, it was too embarrassing to do as an independent hobby, and not a good community to belong to. I stopped doing it about the same time I started taking watches more seriously. I'd always been 'into watches' and tended to buy a new one each year, but it wasn't until a few years back that I decided the time had come to start acquiring nice pieces I could keep, rather than just buying a new piece each year Always loved music to, but not in a serious enough way to be called an audiophile

I think they both look fantastic, but if it's going to be as part of a band, design etiquette states that you really ought to go with the first one. If it was going to be a stand-alone piece, or even part of a big sleeve/thigh/back piece, then that is when the second image would be the appropriate design to go with

:Jumpy: :Jumpy: :Jumpy: :Jumpy: That looks AWESOME!!!!!!! Put me down for one of those, please

Ahh, I think I can visualize the kind of effect you mean, I hope it works out though

I just wish the one I tried on looked as good as it does in your photo

How about if you were to just print in black, and leave the text and markers blank? Would that allow better resolution?

Bloom-Style this evening...

I'm sure quartz versions will be available soon The plaque around the TUDOR GENEVE text, being a prime example, as well as the round date window crammed in at 4:30...

I just noticed something which hadn't occurred to me before... You said you were actually printing white ink... On the ones Slartibartfast produced, they were black onto transparent decal, with the 'white areas' simply sans ink entirely. Might a similar printing procedure produce slightly different results to where you've literally printed black and white ink? As on the other thread, I think a yellow dial with black writing would look really sharp (best do Doxa orange as well, to keep Nanuq happy ) Other than that, I can't see any other detail differences to change

Seems pretty well made so far, it's never flooded when it gets wet... Plastic No different to the sales picture, but I used it for re-luming practice... No idea whatsoever...

Can't believe I missed this thread before now What a fantastic piece

Sweeeeeet :thumbsupsmileyanim:

I wouldn't say this was 'the best', but it's the same watch I used for casing up my Tudor sub dial, which is etched as a 5513.

If you're looking for something in that price range, I would highly recommend this dealer as a source Essentially, it's just different types of movement. They both do the same thing, tell the time, it's just that the 'Swiss' movement (not actually made in Switzerland, just a term applied to refer to the type/model of movement) 'ticks' more times in a second than an Asian movement (meaning the second hand sweeps more smoothly) Personally, I've always been happy with the performance of the asian movements in watches I've purchased

It actually quotes Jon Snow, who is a respected journalist...
