NCRich 13,764 Posted August 13, 2018 Had a spare 1675 and some parts. A little elbow grease. Its not in the final version. Needs a red/black datewheel, better bezel, but what the heck. I can at least wear it. Oh, its a custom dial, small gmt, brassed the stock bezel, drilled the case and took off the CGs.

J!m 289 Posted August 13, 2018 It's down the list a bit, but a no-crown guard GMT is on the list. Nice work as usual Rich! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hanski 40 Posted August 13, 2018 Pretty cool! Are you going to relume hand or dial to match one another? I'd love to learn more about the dial and insert @repmaster1234. What is your process for making the dial? Can you post a macro of the dial - I've curious to see the texture/detailing of the logos and dial face? Same question for the insert, how do you make it? I've been contemplating trying to make "bakelite" inserts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It may require a bit of digging but they are here somewhere, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
