madasboot Posted August 15, 2006 Report Posted August 15, 2006 I´d like to share some pics of my 3646, returned from Finepics scalpel. The case is still the one that came originally with the 3646 California Dial (OEM from River). The dial is a Davidsen and Mark did a remarkable work over it - Relume job - as he also did on the hands. The colour is not white but a kind of vintage egg shell yellow. Mark also did the crystal and that makes all the difference on the looks of the watch - I didn´t even recognize it when I opened the package - ! The strap is a special order from Watchinger wich I later distressed and sewn to the watch lugs myself. The buckle is a monster I bought with a RXW rep case on Ebay a month ago. The final step on this one will be a heart surgery replacing the actual Molnija for a Cal. 616 Cortebert mvmt. Thank you so much Mark for your superb work. I really cannot find words to express my feelings towards your work... I also thank Watchinger for a superb high quality leather strap and Davidsen for his promptness and customer care. Hope the photos do some justice to the the work involved (mainly Mark's). Cheers, M.

madasboot Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Posted August 18, 2006 Just a last detail... The superluminova "glows" like a torch. You can not read under its light but you can find your way in the dark without bumping anywhere! M.
