NCRich 13,714 Posted July 19, 2017 I love these frickin GMTs. So someone said they wanted it to look like this. I got to here. Tough to do the square CGs since there just isn't enough CG there. But close. Also better light on my photo so it looks "fresher" Kinda chuffed. Never did a black insert one with a "just a bit" of aging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haltec 0 Posted July 19, 2017 @NCRich - 316l shouldn't be hard (read expensive) to add to CG's.. Thought on that? (If it bothers you so) Not sure though how it would actually appeared after the machining buffing polishing.. Since is welded on.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenTLe 1,485 Posted July 20, 2017 Good effect! It has the right amount of fading not to look very old. I had the same effect done on my DRSD :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arism 26 Posted July 20, 2017 Looks great Rich. What did you use to age the lume? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,714 Posted July 20, 2017 Looks great Rich. What did you use to age the lume? Its watercolors. So you can try a number of things and just rinse them off if you don't like it. When you get it like you want put a couple coats of matte lacquers. But you'd have to start with the white lume, not the orange. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

porschespeedster 19 Posted July 20, 2017 Very nice NCRich! I love the 'mild patina' and the lume colo(u)r. The way you have it now, it actually looks like 90% of vintage watches...SLIGHT discolo(u)ration of the lume, some fading, some scratches, but nothing crazy.

But I know a guys that are maybe largest 316L product manufacturers in my country. They are working for pharma company that I am working too. Sometimes they have projects which lasts 12-24 months to build, so they're pretty skilled with 316L Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
