valerian Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 OMG! An enormous deep sea monster preying on your beautiful Vintage Sea Dweller!!!! Great pix, congratulations! I just still can't get myself to like the DeepSea. Val. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 ... yes, you are right ... the case and coin trick ... Pugwash told me I also got some good results by 'slicing' at the lugs and sides of a case with these I just held them open (by the lower handle) and hacked at the case in a kind of slicing motion, and then dragged the blade down the side of the case as well, to create some nice scuffs A quick buff with a 4-way nail file blended them in so they looked old, rather than freshly inflicted (When doing this, I did not simply hack at the case like a blind woodsman, but aimed slice by slice, as I wanted to create the impression of sustained damage, rather than just a butchered case ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 You're a sadist, my friend! No wonder your watches have this "take me away" look! There is that expression about the right tool for the right job... Personally, I go with whatever I've got to hand ( I have to admit, the gouges I inflicted on the case (especially the lugs) with the scissors, are the ones I'm most satisfied with in my 'vintagizing' project ) [Edit to add] I've studied under the Master, at Nanuq's school for watch modification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
