psyphyc 0 Posted May 16, 2016 That's a sharp looking piece. Pratt builds are some of the best out there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cleebeauregard 2 Posted May 16, 2016 Yeah, his work is pretty freakin' amazing. Even more amazing, I think he only started doing this stuff a couple years ago... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadPickle 2,743 Posted May 16, 2016 what did pratt do? the scope of the works? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted May 16, 2016 He pratts them. You know that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash64 17 Posted May 17, 2016 I think that one looks quite exceptional. I like the well-kept aged look, rather than "rusty,found it in the shed". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slink73 6 Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) what did pratt do? the scope of the works? Yeah does he take a base watch you provide or is this a complete purchase - and if so what has he done to this watch in this case? It looks so very good I want to know how I ask for the same thing Enjoy wearing it! Edited May 17, 2016 by Slink73 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted May 17, 2016 Isn't it? Post whoring is nice too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cleebeauregard 2 Posted May 17, 2016 All in favor of post whoring, respond here with "aye"; those not in favor of post-whoring may also post whore by responding "nay" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elp 26 Posted May 17, 2016 and those on the fence? Nice watch by the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cleebeauregard 2 Posted May 17, 2016 Seriously though, Pratt uses a variety of techniques-- acid baths, tumbling cases with rocks, acrylic paint mixed with bits of iron dust, etc. You can learn all about it on his thread over at RWI, or ask him any question you like : https://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/224561-The-addiction-continues Although he typically just posts his latest works for sale, I think he also does custom work on any watch you'd like to provide to him.

Yes I'm aware of who Pratt is, and the speed of which he creates these and many other builds/mods <-- whatever you want to call them, but what did he do to yours? If I had to guess, and I'm looking at a very small pic on the iPhone here, I would guess at a stock silix/cartel 21j, coffee/tea mix to age the dial and hands, a bit off a scuffing and a bashing to give the case the aged look, beach aged the bezel insert But I could be wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And you're right on the money on the works for this watch-- Cartel 5512 given a bath, a bashing, and the ole' espresso dial/hands treatment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
