fishgodeep Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Last from me for tonight Ross's range of dials provides so many options so with his assistance ( a beautifully prepared LP base dial) - I swapped out the brown Marina Miltare dial and went for the classic black Also picked up one of TC straps "treasure Island" straps which V worked over to soften and age + sew in my GPF Mod Dep buckle. Both steps have transformed the watch for me and it's seeing mucho wrist time!!! Thanks Ross once again (and V for sorting the strap!!) Cheers FGD PS - I've worked out how to set my preferences in photobucket so pics aren't 3 foot wide!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Hilts Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 What was used for the aged lume look? That shade of white/grey looks more like the gens than anything I've seen. Very nice. I've got a couple of Ross dials and I'd love to finish 'em to that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcsherry Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Great looking watch, glad you like the dial! VH - not sure if this back plate was mine or not, but you've either got the option of using acrylics (no lume), acrylics (with white luminova powder) or something like a white Bergeon lume (for Rolex) / another white glow powder (like GlowTec). You can then add colour to your taste - sometimes a very light wipe with coffee / sugar does the trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of your back plates - I actually just sprayed it white and then wiped with a sponge in grey tinted paint. I've yet to lume it - keeping that little upgrade for another rainy day!!
