Middle of the Week Wrist Check


By-Tor

Recommended Posts

I do not want to sidetrack the midweek wristies (too much), but do the case dimensions (especially the height) approximate the 6536/5508? I think that most of the Silix cases are more nearly similar to a modern Sub than these early low-profile case versions. You will almost definitely need a drill press to drill the lug holes.

I posted a brief tutorial early last year, but the basics of my hand aging process are pretty simple (though dangerous since you can easily damage the hands if not careful) -

1. Remove hands from dial

2. Apply Iodine to the lume areas (try not to get too much on the metal)

3. Bake at 550 degrees Fahrenheit until they reach the desired patina

4. Let cool

5. Reinstall hands on dial (note that, like vintage tritium lume, the lume is now rather delicate & it no longer glows)

@Freddy333 THANKS for the diversion, very helpful. I will be PMing you in the future I am sure. I have "extra" hands, I will experiment this weekend with your technique. THANKS AGAIN!

Ugh, guys I seriously need a rep of an updated modern watch. I'm wearing my old gen 50's Rolex BB (grandpa-style) because my only other watch is a faded-out gold Tag sports elegance (15+yrs old) with most of the gold-plating worn off.
