irate03 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 Strap is stitched up, the crown tube that came out is refitted, slow moly replaced with a strong beater. The first strap pictured is only the non buckle end as I've run out of buckles for now, I was given an old painted leather case and wanted try a Kampf on this build. SPEC: River 3646 - high bezel, case lightly reshaped and aged Dial - River 2533, aged and lumed by me (with the help of Cornholio of course) Hands - Athaya blue cali - treated, aged and lumed by me (with the help of Cornholio of course) Plexi is a solid crafted by Neckyzips, it's big n' chunky and looks amazing. Movement - moly 3601, cleaned by me. Strap - very soft leather coloured, aged and hand stitched by me with Elias' wonderful bronze buckle.
jbetts1790 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Posted April 22, 2013 Wow, nice job, it looks great! Did you use hand files or dremel to shape the case?
irate03 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Posted April 22, 2013 Wow, nice job, it looks great! Did you use hand files or dremel to shape the case? Hi mate, I just used hand files, then a dremel to buff and polish
PeteM Posted April 23, 2013 Report Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Looks really nice mate.. I like the plexi ...was it a straight fit? ..I think Rs is 40.1 so I am guessing so.. I really dont like the milk bottle lens effect on Rs... Nice work OOI ..Did you use Rs movement ring or another?....If it was Rs was it a straight fit? .... I have had nothing but trouble with the Moly rings he sent me for his cases... ended up using modded DSNs Edited April 23, 2013 by PeteM
