donerix Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Pbdad made this one for me and I can't get it off my wrist. I know it's pure fantasy, but I love it. I want to make a rivet-style bracelet for it (I guess there aren't any existing ones wide enough so I will have to use the DSSD bracelet and try to make it out of that - any suggestions?) What do you think:
lhooq Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Pbdad made this one for me and I can't get it off my wrist. I know it's pure fantasy, but I love it. I want to make a rivet-style bracelet for it (I guess there aren't any existing ones wide enough so I will have to use the DSSD bracelet and try to make it out of that - any suggestions?) This is my favorite among Pbdad's creations, and I never thought I'd be a fan of fantasy pieces until the Abyss showed up. I'm not sure how many guys here are into computer games, but it looks to me like something that might be found in the Fallout universe. (For the uninitiated, Fallout takes place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. However, it's not our world, but an alternate Earth in which the fashions and values of the 1950s continued into the future... right up until the bombs fell.) Perhaps you could gin up some fake rivet heads and glue/braze them to the sides of the DSSD bracelet? Sounds easier than rolling your own links!
Cats Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Nice watch it's a great mix of different time frames. Like the crown on the left hand side the best by the way. Wear it well Cats
Watchmeister Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Congrats. It is a beautiful piece. I am eagerly awaiting a piece myself.
ShawnBeever Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 I love it, very Steam Punk. How much will one of these bad boys set me back.
Nanuq Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Yeah baby... what the DSSD should have been. "Steam Punk" is perfect.
slickdick Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Not my thing but it shure beats any standard dssd. I agree with nanug, this is how it should have been.
TeeJay Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Yeah baby... what the DSSD should have been. "Steam Punk" is perfect. +2

They are almost the same size!!!
lhooq Posted July 2, 2010 Report Posted July 2, 2010 Are u saying that the Abyss mimics the PIPBoy M???? They are almost the same size!!! If only Pbdad could rig up a bright green light inside the dial!
jmb Posted July 2, 2010 Report Posted July 2, 2010 Perhaps you could gin up some fake rivet heads and glue/braze them to the sides of the DSSD bracelet? I wonder if it would be easy to just put the DSSD clasp on a riveted Oyster? I would try that but I don't have a DSSD anymore. All of the hype/anticipation/version-mania sort of took all of the fun out of having one!
donerix Posted July 2, 2010 Author Report Posted July 2, 2010 Almost done (but it was a bi@ch), still have to shave off the endlinks a bit and finish the second part of the bracelet (but it got dark and I had to go to work):
pbdad Posted July 2, 2010 Report Posted July 2, 2010 Fantastic, Donerix! Now the search begins to find a riveted bracelet for myself!
jmb Posted July 2, 2010 Report Posted July 2, 2010 That riveted band does the trick! I think I'll try to get a DSSD clasp and make me a band like that!
Dizzy Posted July 2, 2010 Report Posted July 2, 2010 looks like we went 50 years in the future!!! New vintage retro no date left hand drive! haha I like it!!
Watchmeister Posted July 2, 2010 Report Posted July 2, 2010 Bracelet looks great. Very impressive! I am eagerly awaiting one myself and wondering if I can fit in a 1030 or 1520/30 underneath that beautiful see-through case back. Waiting to see if it is worthy of a movement. 1030 is my favorite movement aesthetically with the cut-out rotor but I suspect the 1520/30 is more likely to fit. Most importantly, stunning work by PB and you.
