dpap Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Hey guys, I am trying to get a sun faded (not tropical per se) look on a dial, something like this: I am starting from a black HR 5513 dial. I tried the oven method (on a different dial) but everything becomes darker. I am looking to get the opposite effect. Do you think bleach would work? Any other ideas?

freddy333 Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 I do not think that dial is faded. It just looks that way due to the ambient light & faded appearance of the bezel insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpap Posted May 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 duh...ok, you're probably right. Out of curiosity though, has anyone tried bleaching a dial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bc1221 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I wouldn't bleach the dial.... Not unless you want a sterile dial at the end of it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlf Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Only way I've got a faded dial is through uv rays living in Florida this is easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
