black_shark Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 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!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Very cool. Put a strap and a diamond bezel on it and you would have rappers buying them all day.... Sent from my droptop using telepathy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helldiver Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
