My New Stonemariner

[Seadweller4000]

My good old Sub which I wore during my military service got less and less wristtime and it looked pretty battered. I decided to give it a new look.

First, I took it into pieces, removing all gaskets, the insert and the crystal.

I asked a friend to make it a pvd-sub. We sandblasted it and let it into the chemical bath.

This is what came out. Unfortunately - the steel did not respond as we hoped.

My friend was very surprised, that a replica would be of such a good steel-quality.

Anyway, we both did not like the result.

My buddy told me that he could give it a stone or titane look. He then blasted it with tiny glass-stones and this is what turned out:

Wristshot

I love it.

So what do you think of my fantasywatch?

Looks pretty cool to my eyes

[Pugwash]

Odd, but I definitely like it.

[HauteHippie]

Very different and thus cool!!!

[lovepanerai]

looks fabulous

I wonder how that would look on my Navitimer Series Special, probably better than the brushed look.

Me Too and the wife, a nice change to the whole look. Dont show rolex!

Also reminds me of the Sinn U1/U2 look to the metal.
