Project 6152 W/ Rob's Strap...finally

[gattenda]

Rob's strap finally arrived...... it's been a long journey but every month was worth it.. I love the fact that this is custom (even tho i do like MF's strap for its quality at its price) and the price is a bit high but the quality is certainly there. I then gave a bit of vintage taste to it (sorry, Rob). With the watch, whose dial and hands had been vintagized carefully previously, my project 6152-Molnija finally completed. The matt black shade of the dial, smoky dark brown tone of the numerals, and weathered uneven (but not too much) color of the strap - I think overall it came out fairly well and has a believable old look. I looked at dozens of vintage pam pictures i can find on the web to study how authentic ones from the 30's look. In my eyes, they had these tones i reproduced in my dial and strap (if you think otherwise, pls be nice and keep it to your self...heh). The only i might modify later is the crystal profile, since it's a bit too thick. the gen one had more gentle profile, which doesn't create severe distortion.

Thanks everyone for various suggestions. Thanks, Rob for the awesome strap.

Now i'm off to my next projects.... one of which... many have warned me for its difficulities but i think i found a way....

Superb work indeed. Now you will just have to replace the Moljina for a more decent mvmt and you are totally there...
