cib0rgman Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I have a Genunie 1680 Dial Thanks to Edge. I was wondering if leaving it under the sun for weeks will age the dial. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRT Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I hear that bird poop leaves a nice patina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I hear that too but I do not think I want to do that on a Genuine Dial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRT Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 leaving it under the sun for weeks... is a near 100% guarantee of bird-mods in my town. You're much safer with a bright UV light (indoors). It will take years in the sun to get the same aging on the lume as a week in direct artificial UV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slay Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 putting it in the oven will age it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Or, you can just leave it be and let it age on it's own, gracefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsons Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 (edited) cib, why age a gen dial? As I recall, that was one near perfect dial which is not an easy find. The bigger question is are you up to cropping the dial feet? I would have a very difficult time altering such a rare and near perfect dial. Gen movement in the works?

Jet That is the dilema, I am looking for a 1575 Movement they are very difficult to find. I gues I will let the Dial alone and see if I can get my hands on a movement.
