NCRich 13,738 Posted December 12, 2018 Had this Gate cheapy that I really liked but it just wasn't realistic. The case was all wrong, 20mm lugs, metal insert, shiny plastic looking dial. But it had potential. I had a spare cartel case, and low and behold it fit. Even the crown switched over and screwed right down. Exact same crown. So with a much better case I put on a Clark tropic 21 plexi. Better look Took it apart Matte sprayed the dial. Toned it down a lot and made it look "richer" Now for some subtle aging. I don't want some bottom of the sea look. Repmaster1234 turned me on to this little aging kit. You have to practice with it but it does the job. So with a bit of subtle aging and a relume of dial and hands. and together Pretty cool. Should do this on Big Red. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
