what2 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Got a very nice 1680 rep a few weeks back, faded the insert, tumbled the case and bracelet... then I noticed the shine on the "lume!" Figured I would try the oven method to turn down the shine and make the lume look old. Popped the hands and dial in the oven, 5 minutes later looked almost there so I left them in and started watching pawn stars. Note to self... 45 minutes is far too long, dial looks old but has bubbles, and the female part of the second hand popped off to who knows where, which I figure means I either warped the hand, or it was epoxied in. Living by the old motto "when life gives you lemons drink scotch" I figured this gives me a great opportunity to build a tudor snowflake, which leads to my question.... any source other than yukiwatch to get a snowflake dial and hands set, for less money?

redwatch Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Oh man that sucks!! Never leave your watch parts unattended! Poor things. Slartibartfast made a non-snowflake no-date Tudor dial using a waterslide decal. You can see the details here That seems to be the cheapest route to go.
