pbdad Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 This one is a special watch commissioned by my friend, Concepta. It started life as a Swiss Explorer II he bought here on RG and sent it my way for some custom work. I stripped it down, brushed the sides of the case and bracelet and had Avitt DLC the the entire watch. While the case and bracelet were out getting its black out treatment, I stripped the red paint from the GMT hand and finished it in GMTII green, and sent the crystal to be single AR'd. When everything came back, I assembled it, lubed gaskets and painted the bezel markers in alternating green and white. I LOVE the way ti came out. Very different and very cool... The contrast of the white dial and black case is exquisite. enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 The contrast between the DLC case and the white dial is phenomenal. It would be really bithcin' if the bezel was lumed! I've thought about doing that on one of my old EXP II junkers to see what it would look like... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbdad Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 thanks, man! I've done the whole lumed bezel thing on a dssd before. It looked great, but it just wouldn't hold up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I wonder if a clear polyurethane or clear lacquer was applied to seal it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dluddy Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Wonder how a Green Milgaus Crystal would look on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
