Twin brass Marina Militare

Here are a couple of custom builds I have just finished.
I reshaped the cases to get a nicer smooth look and the original crowns have been removed and the case drilled tapped and swapped for Athaya's 8mm crown and tube. Dial's are hand painted and resin filled and lumed by me, the hands are Athaya's blue cali, buffed to remove the 'new shine' and then relumed, aged and the minute tip bent. Movement's are both serviced brass arnex vintage 6498's, one is hammered finish the other is brushed. After a few comments from previous versions of this dial type I decided to do one dial a slightly darker more neutral brown. The straps are made by me from ammo pouches and use Elias' brass 24mm buckles the boxes also contain a green nato strap with brass fittings. No forced ageing has been done to these, I have let them darken and age as I work on them and the patina is very natural.
 

I hope you enjoy the pictures.
