reworking and engraving movements

Recommended Posts

Several tryouts after I can show my lastest work. This evening I´ve dismounted movement, removed molnija stamps and replated in chrome. All movement has been re-chromed to look similar and little bit aged.

 

Here is how it looks my engraved movements, partially reworked, balance bridge in this ocassion has not been modified. Only for balance I need almost 3 hours, I don´t know how to do faster.

 

Hope you like it.

That will certainly look sweet in a nice vintage piece. Coating isn't what I would expect from chrome plating, though. Is that what chrome looks like before it's polished or is there something else applied for the aging look?

there is no need to polish chrome, I apply it to archieve a non brighter finish, because movement doesn´t shine originally.
