NCRich 13,744 Posted January 3, 2017 I've been playing over the holidays when I get bored. I have accumulated a number of parts and I ordered a couple of cases to reduce the stuff. This turned out really well I think. Specs 2813 movement slightly aged and relumed dial and hands Case drilled and shaped 2mm springbars Aged insert Brassed bezel Zuludiver strap So on to the pics. Lume shot - just a few secs under a light Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piccolo 672 Posted January 3, 2017 Another very nice addition to the (already very impressive) collection! Nice work, I really like those brass edged bezels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edwinowl 180 Posted January 3, 2017 Nice work pal, I've done this before on a Tudor dial, those 3 and 9 markers are a pig though. Good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,744 Posted January 3, 2017 Nice work pal, I've done this before on a Tudor dial, those 3 and 9 markers are a pig though. Good job. Yeah, 3, 6, and 9 are hard. But you only see stuff like that in macro shots. Some people actually file those down after they dry. But if you look at REAL vintage watches the lume application sux. And people love it.

splke 4,372 Posted January 3, 2017 would the originals had a pearl in when new ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,744 Posted January 3, 2017 would the originals had a pearl in when new ? Yeah, I've got the pearl in a bag. I'll probably sell this one in a bit (no one needs three) so I'll send it with the watch if the next person wants to put it back. Pearls that come with it aren't great, and a real vintage probably would have lost it. You can' buy decent vintage pearls from Athaya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
