Member X Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 I've no idea how accurate it is but it looks awesome
alligoat Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 +1, Especially the aging part, looks great.
freddy333 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 Looks good. 1 minor quibble - I would have reinstall the hands (they should be parallel to the dial).
donerix Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Posted April 3, 2010 Looks good. 1 minor quibble - I would have reinstall the hands (they should be parallel to the dial). The hands were a bit tricky: had to use the center part of the original minute hand as a sleeve to make it fit. That compromised a bit the alinement with the dial. Maybe I can bend them down a bit ....
tmg Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 The dial looks amazing Donerix, can you share a little more on your aging process?
hiker01 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Posted April 3, 2010 Well done, E-! AS usual, only the best from the Master Vintagizer!
donerix Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Posted April 3, 2010 The dial looks amazing Donerix, can you share a little more on your aging process? All I really did was to toast it and give a rather sloppy matt spray ... Here some - hopefully - better pics in daylight: And one I took with flash (by mistake), but I kind of like it:
