rbj69 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 u r breaking mine and xrts wallet man , it is a better looking , just a little bit thicker, couldnt tell by the pics but surely can now, take a look , this one has been redone with many bells and whistles , enjoy the base modded watch is a watchmaster watch , we gave the case a makeover, drilled out holes and put 2mm pins in , dulled the dial to give it that less glossy look, custom made the big white bubbled second hand , i painted it white and relumed it in the tritium look alike lume, used gold tudor hands for hour minute and relumed to match the second hand, casted a brevet crown from the oem one but made it look more realistic , installed new bezel assembly with some alterations, made new insert to look more realistic not so brand new looking,serviced movment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRT Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I can't wait to have that on my wrist. Nanuq was right...it definitely needed a new bezel. That one looks near perfect. The height and definition of the teeth are a huge improvement. The amount of work you put into this piece getting it 'just right' is absolutely evident.

oswald Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Looks good Joe! How did you go about making the second hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRT Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Looks good Joe! How did you go about making the second hand? Michael Young made that hand for us. Joe sent him the second hand from my ETA and he made the correct sized "large bubble second" hand to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 How about them big ol' 8mm Brevy's? You mentioned having them cast. Might you have more of those available too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
