redwatch Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Starting off the week with the good 'ol RED today:
Nanuq Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 I checked, and sure enough... my wrist is still there!
dluddy Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 111h to start of the week. On rubber because it is so damn muggy and hot
ammandel Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Can't get used to this new forum at all! Early days though -.- It's funny, I was almost ready to sell this but now have just fallen back in love with it and realise it rounds my collection rather well! If only I could get a nice strap for it instead of this not so great moo-croc thingy!
TeeJay Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Today's obviously a day for new beginnings and rejuvination, so I guess it's only appropriate that I finished my project sub, and am happily wearing it It started off as a vintage Sub from Silix, and has undergone 'a few changes'... Case and bracelet have been 'hand aged'. (Hopefully looking between 30-50 years old overall) Crystal has been re-epoxied into place for renewed water resistance. New (3rd) bezel insert (sanded edges and bleached for 60 seconds). New movement (old movement was okay, but a bit 'twitchy' on hand-winding, and the new movement had a clearer date-font, so it made sense to swap) New dial (baked for 60 seconds, and text colored) New Millitary-issue case-back (slightly scuffed to blend with the rest of the watch's appearance) Bracelet built from assorted parts to fit the case (original bracelet only fitted with very bent springbars) Original 'factory vintage' hands. So here it is, probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I'm very happy with the results. Future work to include a new coin-edge bezel Questions and comments are always welcomed
Guest HaloArchive Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 So Ubi.. when is that Daytona for sale

ubiquitous Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Posted July 27, 2009 So Ubi.. when is that Daytona for sale Well, it technically belongs to my 5 year old son, so whenever he's ready to sell, I suppose. He'll probably receive it in about 20 years or so; I'd ask around then Speaking of my son... He's kicking off the week with this vintage piece...
redwatch Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Oh my god Ubi! That's great! I used to have one of those beauties when I was a kid!
ubiquitous Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Posted July 27, 2009 Heh... Fun stuff! I had the gold, black and blue ones when I was a kid; think I was 7 or 8 at the time. I loved them...
Pugwash Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 I've just modded this one by taking a K2222 AR sapphire off a white-dial Breitling that didn't really need it: click to embiggen Just to prove there is a crystal, here's a reflection: ... and here's a pre-mod photo:
