Sweattdogg Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Wow this is an awesome fantasy model! Even if they made a gen it would be out of my price range. Agreed, a bit or red or bright orange (PO style) on the tip of the seconds hand would be pretty cool. Please keep the pics coming!
Samurai Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Very nice.....and I agree....some color will give the watch a bit of personality.
hiker01 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Awesome!!!! Rob, your driving me crazy! and giving me plenty of ideas! Great work! I can't wait to see the finished product with the suggested red color on the tip! Waiting for the pics!
PaulVanDyk Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Looks great as always. AS i was reading the post i went: "there is no way that grey lume glows"
mastergod Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Amazing! Love it. This idea may seem a bit cheesy, but I
Toadtorrent Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 That looks great The Zigmeister!! I'm more of the yellow AP EOD in taste for this...rather than the Breitling BS red. The BS red looks fantastic...but creates a more "in your face" look which is part of the Bling appeal of the Breitling line in general. The yellow on a small chrono seconds hand even though more of a bright contrast to the red, I think matches the stealth mode more. It really does look quite nice!!
strattakan Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Great work!!! damn i hate you Just Love this stealth look. the luminova is awesome!
Pre V Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 What a Nero Beauty! 212 having a 1950 case, the subtle final touch of red I feel will complete this "phantom" is an application of red paint over the "1950" font. Why you may ask? Abeit this being a stealth piece, I would still want to command a tat attention from afar. Akin to a Red Submariner or DRSD, the red fonts implicate "instantaneous" recognition. That's what I would do anyways. Great stuff The Zigmeister!

Great work zig Edited March 4, 2009 by spider87
Chicken Manny Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 I think the Red 1950 is a great idea! That and the tip of the chrono hand would make a great statement for a 'prototype' stealth watch. Plus, you have the hands steady enough to do it. If you can lume a 196 you can do anything! Has me thinking about my 212. If it wasn't for the synthetic sapphire (aka mineral crystal) I would wear the thing all the time.
RWG Technical Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Posted March 4, 2009 Well...it seems as if I have some work to do. I'll do the tip of the hand red, and the "1950" red as well, thinking that a bright red similar to DSRD would be the correct match for the black colour. I'll post pics when I am done. Thanks again everyone, and to note, the same thing can be done to any other watch... RG
nikki6 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 How about just a real thin sliver of red, or maybe blue to go with the lume, up the chrono hand? Or maybe on the secs hand. I think a real thin sliver would look better than a tip or a whole hand, think the whole hand would take away too much from an amazing watch! Top work Ziggy, if you wanna sell it there is definate home for it here in Scotland!!
HunterBL Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 wow thats a beatiful watch either red or orange would look awsome
trailboss Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Brilliant! Just the tip of the chrono sec hand I think. Red stiching in the strap would have made it. I have seen these straps with coloured stiching and it works a treat. Don't know if I can find a shot. I'll have a look. EDIT: Yep. Here we go. On a PO. Can't remember who's pic this is to give credit. Chime in if it's yours. Col.
docblackrock Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Firstly, fantastic job R, what a frickin' beauty Secondly, now whilst RED is a favourite colour of mine, I beg you please DON'T DO IT!!!! There's only one scheme in which to highlight this watch - I'll give you a visual clue If you don't fancy attempting to recreate the 332 design exactly (bar the lume and the blue 'tachymeter') then I say paint the running secs hand and either the tip (first try) or entire chrono hand in that lovely shade of OP azzuro
deltatahoe Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 while making the 1950 red ala DRSD is intriguing, i think either orange or blue SL would suit me best deltatahoe

I have this paint in almost the exact same colour and looking at your picture I am very tempted to do it this way...I can paint the seconds hand and also the chrono subdial. I have to do some thinking on this one. RG
cc Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 I love that stealth look. Lume doesnt look bad at all!! Looks killer on the wristshot
jkirke Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 i want my mommy!!! sick sick custom bro. beautfiul lume choice!!
rogerthat Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Fantastic example of a customized watch!!! Cheers,
OneMan24 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Hey all, I am fairly versed in photoshop so I decided to do the mod I think The Zigmeister was after....give me some direction if you want to see other ideas...a nice deep red looks HOT...especially with the lume over it to keep it consistent... Thoughts?
