okabum 0 Posted March 2, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted March 3, 2010 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
