chris5264 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I picked up this PVD case from Tourby (thanks) and actually had it set for another project, but had some time so I thought I'd toss in my skeleton movement. Instantly, I thought this was a great match. I think having the polished finish lets this work with the movement and the hands, which are more sport than dress. Anyway, let me know what you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ximenes Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 The pvd does seem to enhance the movement... but... the decorated skeleton IMO wants a polished or plated case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxus Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 or maybe a skeleton movement with a combo of SS and blacked out parts...It can be a very modern look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazz Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I like the contrast, Tourby has some great parts, I really have to get round to a skeleton project keep the pics coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 In terms of practical readability, I'm not a fan of skeletons... In terms of aesthetic appreciation, I think that looks freaking awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I know what you mean about the hands also i would say they are a bit short too. You would need some hands that contrast nicely with the case and the movement, with the black and the gold i dont know what, would blue breget hands look too odd?

chris5264 Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Thanks!, I had a bit too much wine last night and fell asleep with it on, I still can't stop staring at it. I keep thinking I've seen something like it somewhere else, but can't place it. I know what you mean about the hands also i would say they are a bit short too. You would need some hands that contrast nicely with the case and the movement, with the black and the gold i dont know what, would blue breget hands look too odd? I have some blue Breget hands coming soon, so I will at least give it a try. The only thing is that with a skeleton the hands can be tricky. My method is to actually file down the small edge on the minute hand (right below the hole there is a small extension to give the hand more support on the pin). The problem is that this extension creates extra space that lets the hour wheel move if the watch is upside down. I file this off and put the minute hand lower so it holds it down. I don't have it perfected and I've messed up a few pairs of hands, I would really hate to distroy a nice blued set of breget hands, but I'll at least see what it looks like. I might also just use some basic black hands without lum. THAT IS AWESOME i love it. NICE WORK maybe i need to check into that. did you get the movement from tourby as well? Thanks, yes, the movement is from tourby but I got it a while ago. I bet a skeleton PVD movement would look pretty good with this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
