deltatahoe Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 so it's been a while since i've posted any of my new watches (i've finally decided to clean up my watchbox a bit given the recent additions); here is one watch that is getting a lot of wrist time these days -- an unbranded california dial radiomir. this watch was inspired by V (he has a similar watch); he also made me a custom vintage strap for the watch, which i think sets the dial off perfectly. the dial and hands were also relumed by the master ziggy; his special touch is clearly present in the final product. ok, enough talk about the watch -- here are some pics i took this weekend: many thanks to V and ziggy for their help in bringing this one together deltatahoe
messenius Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 That's a nice looking watch. These cali dials are great. I have a RWC1938a which has a bit different case shape and a lovely high domed chrystal
deltatahoe Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Posted October 30, 2008 the cali dials are sneaky that way -- once you get the bug, they are hard to ignore this one has a high domed crystal as well; i should probably take a profile shot to demonstrate how high the crystal sits.... deltatahoe
VDBroucke Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 cool watch nice work from the moders
RWG Technical Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 Looks great on that strap, wear it well. RG
dluddy Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 Beautiful watch and great strap combo B
fishgodeep Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 Love that D ..starting to get the Cali bug now .....who does the best dial in your opinion? I have all the other parts sat in a box with nothing to do so seems daft not to...? Cheers FGD
deltatahoe Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Posted October 30, 2008 thanks everyone -- i think the vintage strap really makes this watch special @FGD, i think the davidsen dial is probably the best. there was a guy on ebay based out of in florida that had some cali dials with a white chapter ring, but i don't think he's around anymore... deltatahoe
