Going to wait for the Bronze Sharpie to come in before I do anything else with the dial indices , hands and bezel numbers. I know the sharpie mod , but want to see how the colour matches first before moving forward any more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BADBILLY 115 Posted August 9, 2019 Went ahead and put the dial back in for now. Just to complete the watch for the photo Now that's a Gingermariner if I have ever seen one !!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BADBILLY 115 Posted August 10, 2019 Well?? What do you think about my GINGERMARINER so far. It isn't complete yet as I still have the bezel numbers and the dial work to finish. The plating came out well and I put it on thick for that luster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The question is when you are going to convert your unique hobbying into a service. Ignore any advice @GenTLe gives you on that subject too. Always wondered what copper colored modern sub would look like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that I am going to explore the unique mods for a little while and see where it takes me. Nothing too audacious though. I can plate unique items also.

SCShrek 494 Posted August 10, 2019 @BADBILLY another thought. Since watches are so tedious, I could send you the slide on my Glock....Would plating even hold up to the heat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Fun Socks 76 Posted June 10, 2020 Hi Billy, im a bit late to discover this but great work! Ive been toying with the idea of getting a plating setup for a while. Out of interest, did you use a tank setup or brush? Any undercoat like nickel? I hear stainless is hard to plate but im not really sure why it would be. Any info would be much appreciated!
