freddy333 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Except for the obvious sanding marks all over the case, it looks good. If you are comfortable removing the works & crystal from the case, this would be a good candidate for Nanuq's famous antiquing process (put it in a coffee can with alot of coinage & shake until done).

Ueno Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I don't understand the obvious sanding marks all over the case and bracelet. why not just wear the hell out of it... It gets a much better aging look... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Those marks are obviosly from a 1996 green scratch pad from Scotch-Brite or possible from a generic brand, hard to tell. The grooves are a bit shallower so maybe generic. HA HA. Just kidding man. I really dot see the big deal with the fabriocated scratches but hey, what do I know. Looks fantastic bro and wear it well.

denimhead Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Congratulations on a very nice piece, pbdad's done a sterling job on the dial and hands. Can i have a caseback shot please? my only advise would be to maybe take the angle of the case steeper under the bezel. as a rule of thumb there is an outer groove on the case back which acts as a guide to take the excess material down too as per gen. Here's a couple of shots of a case i've just done. The other upgrade i'd consider is a flat '4' bezel. nyguy(maker of 6263 bezel) just started selling one on ebay which looks very good. Well it well!
