TeeJay Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Just an idea I was kicking about in my head, ie what would a 45mm Planet Ocean look like in 50 years time, and wondered if people thought it'd make a good project? Off the top of my head, I'm thinking scuffed up bezel insert and missing pearl, dial lume vintaged to a browney orange, all over 'hair scratches' on the case, as well as a few 'meaty dings', and maybe even some damage to the crystal. Strap wise, while I guess it would be possible for someone to source the rubber strap in 50 years, I'm wondering if a NATO strap might be more in keeping, or if the rubber strap itself should be distressed? What do folks think? Yay or nay? PS This would not be happening to my 45 Planet Ocean, but one I'd source specially for the project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Do it! haha i think the same way as you.. I vintagized a new rep Rolex Daytona white gold look with the black and red dial. It looked kinda dumb becasue i KNOW its a new model and it didnt feel right at all. Maybe we should start a new section here called "Future Vintage" and mod current model watches to look 40 yrs old. I think the planet ocean is a great watch for this mod My Noob is beaten to death and looks 40 yrs old haha.. I "over vintagized" it just a bit LOL LOnnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giorgio Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 It looked kinda dumb becasue i KNOW its a new model and it didnt feel right at all. I'm kind of thinking along those lines. If you know it's a recent model, then it doesn't look vintage, just broken (in my opinion) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
