Comex 1655

Recommended Posts

Ignore me folks, I post this stuff so I can keep track of what I've built and maybe give someone some ideas.  This is a Comex 1655, which I'm not sure ever existed in exactly this form in gen.  I've relumed in white, matte sprayed the dial, aged the hands, relumed a bit raggedly,.  Drilled out the lug holes, but just a tiny bit as they come 1.2ish now.  I went 1.3 because it easier to put the bars in.  Had to slight mod the endlinks but could ream out enough to use without clipping.  I polished all edges of the case, bezel, and bracelet and baby oiled the bracelet.  Feels really good.  Put in a tropic 39 from Cousins.  Surprisingly this insert faded just fine in hot bleach.

OK, consider this ignored. Can't you screw something up for a change and make it look shit, just to mix it up a bit? :lol:
