donerix Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 Power outage all day here, so all I could do was fiddle around with watches. I had this 1675 project based on a 1655 case where I am still waiting on a bezel assembly from wholesaleoutlet and this way to new looking gold-ish GMT insert, a GMT movement and a left over PT 6542 dial. And Goldfinger was born -again - (I am considering changing the working title to "The Gert Froebe" to not step on anybody's feet ). For now it's just loosely stuck together, but I like the way it is going (that insert definitely needs to be bent back into shape):
japanic Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 Absolutely stunning. The bezel fading is superb. Does she have gilt hands? The tone of the photos makes it hard to tell. Also what is that gadget you've got on the side?
donerix Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Posted August 24, 2011 Yes I sanded the hands down to the brass and heated them up. Not with the lighter that is next to it though
freddy333 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 If that is what you do when the power if off................
krpster Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 If that is what you do when the power if off................ That's what I was thinking too.
JEKS Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 Nice steampunk lighter as well. Antique? If now, where'd you grab it? thx - J
cornerstone Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 That is awesome. Rolex should be paying you!!
Nanuq Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 If that is what you do when the power if off................ No, see what happened is ... he was looking at his watch in the dark with a lighter thinking HOW MUCH LONGER ARE THESE BLOODY LIGHTS GOING TO BE OUT??!!! and this is the result. Oops. Seriously, that's a nice result!
donerix Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Posted August 24, 2011 Nice steampunk lighter as well. Antique? If now, where'd you grab it? thx - J This lighter used to be my dad's, but they sell them on ebay I saw (just look for "trench lighter")
cht Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 Wow, absolutely stunning! Great photography too! Very cool, I couldn't see wanting to wear any other watch than this, congrats!
redwatch Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 That is a gorgeous watch! Love that strap too!!! (And this is coming from someone who absolutely HATES gold watches!!!)
