projectologist Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) About a year ago I sold this build, then recently bought it back. After missing it and thinking about what else I wanted to do with it, it's time to get started now that it's back. Until I tear it back down, I have it on my newly acquired Kostas strap from his 1:1 Grail collection. Killer strap. Here are the parts so far... ETA 6497-1 mvt Gen T25 Plexi (original, not the service version that comes in a clear baggie with red lettering) Small run Kbiz dial painted and lumed by Merlin699 Nightwatch case back Nightwatch cg lightly re-worked Nightwatch crown and tube Nightwatch mvt ring Nighwatch hands lumed by me DSN case reshaped/work-in-progress Neckyzip's pressure-fit lug bars Kostas strap Some pics before it gets taken apart. I'll update this thread periodically during the modding/rebuild. For now... Corners softly squared-off per gen... Lovely crisp edge gen plexi profile... Another wristy with the new Kostas strap...

ogladio Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Lovely plexi profile indeed Any hints on what you're planning to do with this..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectologist Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 I want to tweak the case set some more and add a little more subtle wear and tear overall. Also add some age to the dial... keeping that subtle too, I'm not a fan of the ravaged by time look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
