Custom Tantalum 240

[gavidoc]

Ok not Tantalum but I really dig the 172 as those blue hands just POP. Unfortunately you can't get the 172 anymore in a real TI case. Sucks I know. Yet, I really like to have date on my watch so that was a problem as well. Then a thought crossed my mind, what if.......I contacted Davidsen about his 240 and wanted to know if it was possible to do a 240 with a Stainless bezel and crownguard and he said, "not possible as the parts don't match." Bummer I thought. Then he sent me a replacement for my first one which went bellyup and in the package he sent a polished Ti bezel which he worked up for me as he remembered I had originally wanted to create a two tone.

So, I popped it on to the 240 I got from him and removed the crownguard off the faulty 240 Take 1. I fixed it so that it would work and then polished it up. Put it on the watch with the brushed lever and my Ti/SS bracelet and now have my dream watch.

A two tone 240 that takes its cues from the 172 and the 036. Now if I could just find some blue hands that would work on it......

Here are the pics. They don't look as good now as they did earlier.

And here are the wrist shots.

Thanks for reading this.

Even though a far departure from the gen... it looks really good!

I think blue hands would ruin it though... blue and brown?? I don't think so, but it's up to you
