flavor flav Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 i was working on some projects here. what do you guys think! note: the rad is a mock up and not assembled. fiddy hands are in there to see what the gold hands look like. obviously i'd have to get a gold rad hand set to fit. take a look and voice your opinions. these are for a member here and i'm trying to come up with unbranded ideas for him. and thank you to the members who sent me movements for repair. i was able to upgrade this member's watch from asian to swiss at no charge destro radiomir! smooth dial super duper crazy lume hand PVD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavor flav Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I like the Rad and the PVD! Very nice work... -MM thanks mike! i was having trouble getting a thick sandwich dial to work right with the seconds hand so i started troubleshooting with a thinner blank dial. when i installed the hands on the blank dial i really liked the look! by accident the radiomir is pure beauty in my eyes! this dial was sent for the pvd and it was a radiomir dial by mistake and obviously was too big to fit the pvd so i got to thinking and stripped my 183 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikellem Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I think we are going to put FF in our new design watch department! Once you get the parts fitting correctly, let me know.. Great Stuff... -MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pubus Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 damn dude the pvd rocks!! this is way beyond my thoughts this forum members could ever come up with It looks awesome on the 1st photo, as the lightning gives you a mirage of white strap attached to black pvd vs white hands. That is a trully cosmic efect and that would be a cool to have in usuall daylight conditions Great job there. Radiomir rox too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavor flav Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 thanks for the comments! i like the way the hands seem to be floating in the pvd. looks like they are not attached to anything. cool effect. i've not heard back from the owner as to if he likes it or not. so we'll see if the sandwich dial goes back in or we leave it like this. i think it's the bomb!

chris5264 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 extremely cool looking watches. Looks half panerai and half movado,,,,perhaps its a panado? I've played around a bit myself with these dials there are a lot of things you can do, I'm trying out some fluorscent paints right now.

Too bad I still don't have my skeletonized fiddy, man that thing was a mistake. I should have at least one unusual pam myself. Should be a good time, hope you can make it.

flavor flav Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 i will hopefully have two "perfect" VC overseas! bracelet mods, correct cross, superlume, and double AR coatings. i'm working to smooth out the diamond cut surfaces as well. depends on when my new dials arrive and if the AR gets done soon enough. these two should be very cool when done. true 1:1.
