Vintage 6152/1 + Strap Culture Antiqua Lp

[evildee]

Got my baby in. Finally.

Strap Culture Antique Nut-Brown Calf w/ Beige Stitch. It is superb! Although I didn't get if from Epoch (RWI) he can get them for 20% off retail. Mine was 15% off from SC sale ad on the "risti" site. Okay, enough of me talking I'll let the pictures speak.

Wrist shot... 6.75 inches. It looks big on me but I don't care I love this watch. And that's the way it should be.

very cool! i suggest, with that extreme patina, you scratch the hell out of it with stel wool and make it look more vintage.

Too shiny for a vintage. Too much coffee on the numerals!

If you want I can PM you a recipe.

Cheers,

Something about an $80,000 PAM with a pair of jeans.

if i had an $80,000 pam i'd walk around in my boxers and tell people "get out of my way! i have more money than you! don't look at me funny i have an $80,000 pam."

.....hey E!....you did great on that piece....engraved inscription on dial, extrem patina (that one was deep down in the sea for 20 years, right?) and varnish to cover the indizees...cool.

Now you have to get rid of that shine on the case

cool watch evildee, nice work!!

I like it.. i really like the varnish on thenumerals..

As Theo said scratch the case and get rid of the polish finish.. no need to destroy the dial too...

Plus you need a nice strap

I did some work on the case with a coin. I want to do some scratches but not to the point that it's a brushed look. Maybe I should goto the park and grab some sand? Any tips?

If you have a piggy bank with coins inside.. put the watch as well and start shaking

Otherwise get a plastic bag put many coins in and again start shaking..

What the heck. I decided on sandpaper.

well done bro!

i like the coin bag idea! that's pure genius... it would create natural uneven nicks and scratches ...perfect...

Excellent idea......it would be best to mix with some protruding stuff

I did the bag of coin trick initially. It's really tough to scratch up the case like that. It would take hours and hours. I thought of sand but dust will get in between the case and crystal. I think steal beads would do the trick or maybe BB's would work. But I wouldn't do it with the crystal attached. It just might break.
