projectologist Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 This one came together over a period of time. V3 Noob case set... re-polished per member w0lf's suggestions. Crown fine-tuned and re-polished as well. Case back is an HF V1 with accurate OP logo, Seagull movement (thanks m3amg) and Noob V3 hands (thanks Tanya). Dial is... well it needed some restoration as the edge had some paint missing (mostly between 5-7) and traces of handling marks on the surface. Luckily it cleaned up pretty well. The 2nd gen Dirk strap was re-stitched between the buckle and keeper to 1st gen spec. I love my logo beater... Crown teeth cleaned up and re-polished... Restored... Strap re-stitched. Only thread I had was white, so I had to try and match the original thread color. Used some watercolor paints and a fine brush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
