rolojack Posted May 29, 2017 Report Posted May 29, 2017 What to do with a spanking shiny new dial when you want your watch to display a respectful age? Clear coat, dye and pray.... And the result is always different... For some reasons I can't explain! Well, here it turned in an interesting way. Some sort of "salt" formed and gives a lot of depth to the dial. Case is all Cartel fully reshaped, except the bezel insert from Vietnam and the 700 crown form Athaya. Crystal is a genuine used T21. 1

It was really new... So it got a top clear coat, then was bathed in dye and thin stone powder mixed in water to mimic age. The result is a varnish that appears UV damaged, like many used gens... Not safe queens. 2
jackflash Posted June 8, 2017 Report Posted June 8, 2017 Just need to add some thinner subdial hands for the icing on the cake.
porschespeedster Posted June 17, 2017 Report Posted June 17, 2017 that 'salt' on the subdial edges is unbelievable. so genlike and subtle.
