donerix Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share 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): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japanic Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donerix Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
