dieselpower Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Good evening chaps and chapesses. I had been eagerly awaiting word from a modder as to how my watch was doing when the postman knocked at my door with a package that was too wide to fit through the letterbox. I instantly recognised the country of origins postage marks and my heart began to beat a little more urgently. I took the jiffy bag to my dining table and very slowly and calmly ripped it into a thousand pieces. Nicely cocooned in its own foam coffin was this: Specs: Whoopy dial re-lumed to a nice light ivory colour TC hands JMB caseset with bezel machined to take SK T21 domed plexi ETA 2824 movement Mary WI folded link bracelet Aussie rounded springbars WSO 580 endlinks Hope you like.

I bought it directly from him when he first printed them. It's been sitting in my parts box ever since. Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD I think my modder re-lumed the hands then had the dial done by someone else, hence the difference in colour. Not perfect I know but in the flesh it doesn't look that bad. Anyways, I always regard my watches as work in progress. Maybe I'll get something done about the hands later. For the time being I'm just enjoying wearing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
