irate03 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) this is for a build i'm putting together at the moment, it started out as a finished River dial, I'm not re luming this one, just ageing what's there. Here's it is fitted, I've not polished this case much, I gave it some abuse then buffed it down. (please excuse the dust under the plexi, I'm just checking everything's running fine, I'll be giving it a proper clean. ) Then I moved on to an Athaya RP dial started with this then.........built up in to this cracked indices - crappy iphone pic Here are some 'proper' photographs, not sure if it's too red though now. a quick and dirty iphone lume shot, courtesy of Cornholio's vintage mix and a close up of the cracked indices Edited March 19, 2013 by irate03 1
marlin22 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Posted March 20, 2013 Beautiful work, I am waiting on parts and paint, I want to try my hand on a 3646. Can't wait....
amanamongmen Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 what did you use to antique these? it makes me want to do my own, i have never found a look like that i liked
irate03 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Posted March 21, 2013 I use the usual stuff, paint, salt, coffee, spray matt and gloss coat lacquer. just a combination of colours and techniques to get different effects.
irate03 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Posted May 9, 2013 a newly painted set of vintage dials, 3 RP and 3 LP . The RP's have been sanded down a little to fit in River's 6154 case. Athaya tall tube wide hands stripped 'egged' and lumed by me. Case reshape and heavily worn by me. These aren't finished builds yet, one of the dials is going in this case and i'll make a faux CP for it when it's done and of course I will do a little photoshoot 1
hiker01 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Posted May 9, 2013 CAn you sell me a couple of those dials??? I want the cream RP and any of the LP will be fine. Please PM me the details if you can! Thanks....and great job BTW!

irate03 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Posted May 9, 2013 @irat... Realy like your build and work!!! My pam days are all over but i realy like your touch!!! Do still have the 1016 rolli you did? I do but it's in pieces at the moment, I got a Clark plexi but it won't fit, I need to get the bezel turned down on a lath. I started only meaning to reshape the crown to a vintage shape and ended up stripping the watch. now it's in pieces waiting for the bezel to be done. Should have left it as it was but I try to be a perfectionist when I can.
irate03 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Posted June 4, 2013 A bit overdue but here are some shots with the dials put together.
irate03 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Posted September 24, 2013 some new dialZZZZZ latest cream dial update, Southy thick text (not keen on the thick text personally) 39mm dial. mock up small egiziano , dial not resin or lumed, plexi not fitted properly yet and hands and crown not aged yet. BROWN DIALS !!!!! dial as a 3646 i've been wanting to do for a while. I know it's 37mm and it's not a perfect fit in this case but you get the idea. Brown set done
