ElvisFreak 73 Posted January 27, 2020 Slapped a homemade sticker on the back and with long daily wear, it should age and get dirty with skin oil quite nicely.... I also brassed the bezel slightly. Installed gen springbars..... Applied a high polish on the inside of the Yuki bracelet. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ElvisFreak 73 Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) But I am not done with the one I stuck to my watch. My plan is to get it to look worn out, sorta like the one in the photo but not that worn. maybe more like this Edited January 27, 2020 by ElvisFreak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan71 18 Posted January 27, 2020 After achieve the faded result you want , you have to protect it with a transparent adesive sticker (are sell on eBay ) otherwise it stain and peel off rapidly cause sweat and water ..Already try .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan71 18 Posted January 27, 2020 I’m not the opener of the 3D... But I Made also some by myself or better I use a professional printer of a mall shop of a friend.You can print on a photo paper or on a adesive paper . I have also bought some sticker to this guy on ebay 65brandoff (see pic below I add only the number with sticker number ) but now are not on sale . Better than the one that I make but not like the genuine that was print on a metal paper (I can’t found other word for explain ) .The genuine are more strong to sweat and water .. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Popperini 17,833 Posted February 22, 2020 Very nice mods ElvisFreak. You could also do with sanding your insert to an angle so it's flush with the edge of the bezel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Member X 91 Posted April 9, 2020 Love the depth of the numerals on that bezel! I've got a RolexAddict build that needs some attention :( Does anyone know if he repairs his old work?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
