freddy333 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 Watches from my Great Grandfather and Grandfather. Not Rolexes though... the pocket watch with Breguet coil was a gift from the French Embassy. Wow!!!!!!!!!
takashi Posted June 18, 2008 Report Posted June 18, 2008 I am more or less finish with this watch, decided to stick with MBW bracelet + endlinks.
chris5264 Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 Nice!!! I've been saving for one of these,,,still not sure if I should go franken or gen....
Nanuq Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 I guess it's time to trot out this old lump of tin, eh?

Sir-Lancelot Posted June 19, 2008 Report Posted June 19, 2008 Love'n that 1016 stilty. Folded for me. I will have to do one of these for myself one day.
takashi Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Better pictures here: Just took better pictures today
freddy333 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 Takahsi -- How did you get that lume effect? What lume material did you use & how did you apply it over the existing lume and still end up with nice, clean edges? Or, did you just paint over the existing lume? If that is what you did, again, how did you end up with such nice, clean edges? They do not look like you used a pin or toothpick to apply 'dots' of lume. Or, now that I look closer, is that a gen Comex dial?
rolex001 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Posted June 20, 2008 That's not even a Rail dial. Comex dials are always Rail dials and were thus always produced by Stern company (now belonging to Patek Philippe). The aging effect is nice though - great work Takashi. A gen Comex 1665 dial would probably cost 30K or more.
