mrnixon Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 If my memory doesnt fail me I think I PMd you a recipe some time ago... Hi, no you remember correctly, I got a very detailed description how you did it, thanks again. I have put it in a word file together with the pictures you posted and looked at it carefully. The reason I am also curious about Falcos method is that he seems to have done it in a slightly different ways by rubbing the dial and also adding the tobacco. The end result was also different. I have not yet decided which one to go for. I think both of your watches are very nice. Your version looks beautifully aged wereas Falcos looks like it had a rougher history. I will probably start with lighter aging like yours and then evaluate the result for a while, and then eventually continue towards Falcos version with more "vintage treatment". Hopefully I will be able to meet a watchmaker who can open the watch for me next week. Will post pict when it is done. Thanks again, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falco Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 mrnixon, it was basically 1/3 of each part chewing tobacco (including the spit ), Nescafe cold, sugar mixed with just a little water. Think my dial has a bit rougher surface due to I used steel wool on it than Madasboot's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
