Lets Play !

had some time and decided to overwork/age the case of my SD -

its far from perfect - but very vintage

overworked the whole case (rounded the edges, cgs, lug holes ....)

bleached the insert.

what you think ?

I'm no expert on vintage Rollies, but I think it looks pretty good. I certainly don't think any "normal" person would question it.

However, I think the aging of the bezel, relative to the aging of the face it quite contrasting. Would a true vintage have such a difference in the coloration of the bezel to the face?

I really like it... The aged bezel in contrast with the dial certainly happens. Plexi filters UV while the bezel is directly exposed. I like that very much. Further the CG's are excellent. Compliments.

Frank-

Very nice. There is something about a faded bezel insert that really adds a nice finishing touch to a vintage.

Great vintage look.

What chemicals you use?

Great vintage look.

Very nice Frank. I especially like the way you trimmed the crown guards, they look great. MBK/MBW cg's are too fat.

Really, really nice results... and it's a very beautiful watch. I love it... but does it have the default MBW pearl? If it does, I'd get rid of it asap.

It'd look very cool without a pearl... that suits well for the vintages. Especially for the ones with faded bezel.
