thogaa Posted December 27, 2011 Report Posted December 27, 2011 This is what it looked like when it was new: And off course decades later it shows sign of wear. But not all bad for an almost 40 year old watch. Perhaps I should list it on eBay? - Nah just kidding. Half way through beating this watch (Cartel 1655 eta rolex dressed mov) up I was regretting my action but I think it turned out pretty nice. You like or is it over the top? Cheers T
dutchguy2 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Posted December 27, 2011 I think it is ok. Maybe hands and dial (lume part) can use some more wabi.
Ephry73 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Posted December 27, 2011 The lug holes look huge! Nice one though. E
thogaa Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Posted December 28, 2011 The lug holes look huge! Nice one though. E Lug holes have some Black spray paint inside - looks worse than they are. Might have over cooked it a bit with 1.5mm drill though
krpster Posted December 28, 2011 Report Posted December 28, 2011 Looks great to me. I especially like the fingerprint on the crystal
