watchguy51 Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 Starting on an experimental build right now... did some bezel bleaching. Took hours to get it even slightly bleached, but finally got it right, and it looks amazing. I'll post pics when it's together. I love that grey-blue colour!! Let's see yours.

Nanuq Posted June 13, 2011 Report Posted June 13, 2011 Huh? That crown has lots of life left, as do the crown guards. Look closely at other details and guess what kind of life this one has lived.

turnipz Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 Did this one a lot because I have an extra insert, I think I prefer it only slightly lighter than normal though. The ones below me look really nice think I'll go for that.

If your asking about the insert only, It is from classic watch parts. If the watch, I bought all the parts and assembled it. Yuki Case Yuki Dial Gen Tudor 2784 movement Gen. Hands Gen. Crown CWP Insert.

Mapman57 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Posted June 16, 2011 All self bleached and lightly sanded with an ultra fine grit scotchpad - gives a sheen and that blue grey hue... The black insert in the first pic is a gen unbleached piece as a benchmark. a few more variants....
nick1972 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 Gen 1680-8 gold-blue insert bleached for 10 minutes and the gold faded away. Very nice blue color Second one is a bleached blue CWP insert
redwatch Posted June 17, 2011 Report Posted June 17, 2011 Came this way, but I love how it's been aged
