A fun project! *****Vintage Aircraft Clock*****

[black_shark]

After so many years making vintage watches, a close friend of mine comes and asks something truly original .... 

A wall clock, big enough for his wall, but aged like it what from an old fighter aircraft. 

So after a little search i started with this ugly plastic clock bought from a Canadian ebay store 

Size is 16.5cm and it works with a nice silent quartz movement. 

 

 

Dismantled to pieces for the overhaul!!!

 

 

After a lot of painting, weathering and luming (that was my favorite part!).....

 

 

Here is the final result. A fun vintage project in XXXL size!

 

 

 

Thanks for watching!

 

PS.Now i will order a huge strap to make it like a XXXXL Bell&Ross!!!!

Very cool. Put a strap and a diamond bezel on it and you would have rappers buying them all day....

Nice project and great result.

Don't know if small enough dial exist from real plane that could be adapted for a wrist!?

It's always a good time to get another watch! (Signature not endorsed by my spouse)

nah, what you need to do is put it on an oversized gold chain to wear around the neck and sell to Flavor Flav.

Bling with a capitol "B"!

Great! Could you put in a mechanical movement in it and make it even greater?
