Hongkytonkman Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Finally posting some pics of my modded SMP Chrono in progress First this started out as a std out-of-the-box rep. I was a bit anal about the datewheel, and was fortunate to pick up an ETA DW from chinkiechunkie. Aside from the DW issue, my SMP chrono had a crappy lume on the hands ; it looked like some chinese mate painted these in green. It was quite awful. So while swapping the DW, I requested some lume job to a watchsmith that really didn't know much about accurate superlume jobs(formula etc.), but had experience on simple lume work. Why not give it a go? Results. DW went OK, lume was actually nicely done, but.. The color didn't quite come out as I had expected... Gonna try again next time... what's the ratio of C1:C3 for this one? experts please chime in for info. my mods in the future. - relume the hands - gen bezel swap - perhaps relume dial as well.. - fix the color of hands to match markers...how should I do this - no crown issues issues for me at the moment - after all this is done and still think this is a keeper... go for Chieftang AR one small issue.. the small dings(sratches) on the chrono hands edges, it seems they become more & more visible every time the hands are pulled out by a presto.(or serviced I should say) Is this common for rep standards? Thanks for looking HKT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
