sgtguk Posted January 22, 2017 Report Posted January 22, 2017 Great piece, and awesome build is this a birth year piece? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
geny Posted January 22, 2017 Report Posted January 22, 2017 Another great piece interaktiv! Glad the watch is getting a nice b&s worthy strap. Too many great builds are on cheap straps which always bugs me 1

alligoat Posted January 22, 2017 Report Posted January 22, 2017 Beautiful job! A fat font insert would be the cats meow, but it's still a great watch already- congrats!
dbane883 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 Hi. Congrats on the build. I don't mean to rain on your parade, but that is not a gen dial. Possible redial, but definitely not original. If it was advertised as such, and assuming you paid any more than say $500, you should contact seller for a refund

RickFlorida Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 Holy crap! Nice. May I ask how you get the case to react/turn brown? What chemicals did you use?

RickFlorida Posted January 23, 2017 Report Posted January 23, 2017 Ahhh, very cool idea. Is the oil just motor oil? And the brown spots just happen randomly and then you clean it well and whatever stays is what we see? Nice job.

I use olive oil, you know I come from Greece and we have enough olive oil I do the whole in two views: First the well cleaned case heat up and cool in oil, since the whole surface gets a light brown color. Then I dry the metal (with the threads and corners always remains something oil) and repeat the whole again. In the positions of the rest oil remained, there come the brown spots.
RickFlorida Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Ahhhhh, thank you for the description and for sharing. I'll try it sometime.
