Mike on a bike Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Along with my collection of micro brands divers, Pams ,Breitlings lord knows what else and having been wrongly painted with anti Rolex brush let me share some of mine with you. Let's start with the double red SD. mods: standard vintage low puff lume job. The hands are dulled and slightly aged. Dial has mildly patina. Used matte coat for the dial. The insert is lightly aged. The pearl is relumed with vintage lume to match dial. Silver DWO and a ETA 2846 movement with 21.600bph. Next the big crown. THIN TIGER PROJECTS CASE- LUG HOLES DRILLEDAGED GHOST INSERT WITH RE-LUMED YUKI PEARLHELENAROU 2 LINE GILT DIAL - RE LUMED BY BIG DAZCORRECT LONG SECONDS LOLLYPOP HAND FROM CWPATHAYA 8MM TUBE AND CROWNGEN NOS 2846 SLOW BEAT MOVEMENT - RUNS BEAUTIFULLY WITH MINIMAL ROTOR NOISE Next: Project X Heritage w some aging for that older look Original case was the SA3135V2 Sub C, reshape the case to have a thinner profile and perhaps most importantly..lugholes Dial has been relumed to a nice vintage off-white cream (Project X used a really ugly fake yellow lume). Vintagized case to make it look like what a heritage Sub would look like 20-30 years from now. So it is intentionally weathered and appear as if it's been polished several times. Movement is an Swiss ETA 2834. Dial is a relumed BP no date. Second hand has been lacquered white. Platinum mod on numbers and red triangle filled. 8mm crown and tube courtesy of Athaya. This one just bought today. Yes and a TC on the way (3rd one raffles! ) This one on me now has not left the wrist since it arrived wears great on a beige w/ red strip NATO, my beater! . In closing those of you who know me know I have ten thumbs and could not mod sh*t, these watches are a credit to the expertise, hard work and vision of the RWG members who built them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
