An incredible and rare “Ghost” 1680 red submariner

[hanski]

Arisen from the depths of my watch bin, an incredible and rare ghost 1680 red dial submariner - catch a glimpse before it vanishes. 

No papers, no history, nothing - provenience unknown. Much like the name, it’s like a apparition appearing out of nowhere. But the work was real: 

- Fully reshaped case including lugs, chamfers, spring bar holes, and CG’s

- Case repolished and rebrushed

- Aged and repolished bezel

- Ghosted Insert, backside maintained as black

- Relumed Dial and hand set to match with thin, lightly pillowed lume plots

- Hands aged in an organic blend of apple cider vinegar and fresh pacific seawater

- Reassembled with freshly lubed gaskets, all parts compression fitted
