projectologist 0 Posted May 6, 2013 This project has been slow to finish. All that's really left is painting the brass dial, filling in the font and resin-fill the indices/numbers. Also luming the hands. The correct gen crown (both Oyster and onion versions were used with the Radiomirs) is going to fit now that I machined a matching crown tube (still needs to be soldered into place). Hixxy bezel was modded with a new bevel and the NW case back polished. Wire strap lugs were shortened and given a new bend (laser welded, solder fillet still needed). The entire case set was re-shaped then beaten severely. After it recovered it was given a high shine polish with a buffing wheel and Dialux Blue compound (scratches and dings still visible, but with that "softened by time" look). Now it has the feel of the Radiomirs that are well documented in Volker's books. Stand-in paper dial until the brass dial is finished. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
