Hi guys,
Yesterday night, I was bored so I decided to take my DRSD and add some aging on the dial and hands so I want to show you the result:
This was when I received the watch from Josh:
So when I received it, I decided to install a tropic 39 service dome instead of the stock tropic 39 super dome and fade slightly the bezel insert with bleach, here was the result:
The dial looked too much new to me so I decided to remove it from the case, and disassemble the dial and hands from the movement, I have heard a lot about the hoven as an aging process for dial and hands but I decided to try something new on my own. So I have applied some fire with a lighter against the dial and hands and here was the result, of course each time I "burnt" the dial I wiped it with a piece of tissue,
I have also done some work on the case and bracelet but didn't finish I wanted to add some old scratches marks and dings, and after that polishing and brushing it again and again but I don't have the materials atm. Unfortunately I have damaged the insert while trying to install it I have bent it so impossible to put it back in the bezel, so while trying to reinstall it, I really damage it and now looks like it has been beaten lol, I will purchase another insert and fade it again with bleach.
I have also smoked the crystal to a brown color:
What I love particularly about the hands is the lume which cracked in the second hand.
Tell me what you think
