chiman12 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Love the dial treatment, but now everything else needs to be aged to match...Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Great job on the dial. Really looks nice. Age the rest gently!!. Wear it ever day doing everything with it, it will age itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Love the dial treatment, but now everything else needs to be aged to match...Great job! I agree with C. I think it looks good, but start with the hands and the lume dots. They've got to get a whole lot yellower and dirtier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Fantastic effect, what technique did you use on the dial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Looks great! What I can recommend is a nice used gen 78350 bracelet with some stretch. Feels great on a watch like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yes, yes and no (V23 copy with Rolex bridge). Does the v72 bridge fit on the v23? I didnt think it would so I never asked. Can you share how you aged the dial?? It looks really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Does the v72 bridge fit on the v23? I didnt think it would so I never asked. Can you share how you aged the dial?? It looks really good. You won't believe it - it is smoked and after cleaned up with a Q-tip. So it gets a very nice and accurate old-look. The bridge is from DW, I have two of them here. But only one fits correct without giving tension on gears. I put the DW V23 copy movement apart in all parts, clean it up and use from 2 movements all the best parts and assemble it again. Everything is lubed and oiled and it runs great now. I don't know if the V72 bridge bridge fits a V23, but possibly yes. It looks same. The case is aged and round polished, also a gen 702 crown and tube is mounted. The bracelet is rep with some minor strech, but it looks good to me, even the clasp has seven holes like gen.
