ammandel Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Wow!!!!!! This is incredible! You hand painted this?! Truely amazing, and absolutely inspiring. What lume colour did you decide on for the hands? I'm not sure orange would be the best match for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure orange would be the best match for these? thank you. i cannot take credit for the artwork, i commissioned an artist that specializes on custom dial work. see other works of the artist here: www.painteddials.com. these are the first preview pics and i may change out the original color lume to a white GX3 instrad of the orange for better contrast. will post completed PAM111 NYC watch once all complete. ****taking suggestions for what type of leather strap or bracelet shouldbe used.

Member X Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Navy leather strap with orange stitching? Looking good so far though Have you thought about doing different lumes on markers to reflect the different colours on the dial next to them?

FxrAndy Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I would say a quality one for a special custom piece like this, a Gef or a custom v strap. May i ask what the dial painting cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old skool Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Cool project idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Awesome! I vote for blue hands with white lume, and blue strap with white stitching. Maybe also a brushed case+bezel? You should try some digital graphic simulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Any updated pics of this? re: the hands, Is it possible to remove the lume from the middle section, where it's supposed to be, and then lume the metalwork instead, so they're see-through?

zaazaa Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) ****taking suggestions for what type of leather strap or bracelet shouldbe used. My gut tells me a sharp and simple black band would be best. It would make the dial pop. I think colored stitching, patterns, etc... would make it all too much. The dial doesn't need to compete with anything. My 2 cents. Congrats on a great project. Edited June 26, 2009 by zaazaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
