cls Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Have a white dial vintage rolex chronograph and wanted to make the dial more "vintage" So, for all who are wondering, the cigar smoke in the box trick doesn't work. Anybody have other tips on making a white dial look old? The cigar was good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 How about tossing your dial in a WC and taking a dump... Seriously - coffee spots are a nice thing. I think a demo is in order.... Of the coffee method that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
