diegosaenz 0 Posted June 30, 2013 That looks fabulous semaj! I want to get myself into watch modding but I'm not sure which tools to get, do you have super expensive equipment? I honestly don't want to spend much but maybe I'll have to. I'd really appreciate your input Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abagnale 0 Posted June 30, 2013 Can't wait to see the results. Porn. i was hoping to find such a movement on the flea markets in zurich, but no way jose. seems like i'm at least 10 years too late but i learned that this movements were also used for clocks from other makers. chances are good to find a cheap one sometime... cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Higs 73 Posted July 9, 2013 Had a go myself today. The first thing to say is that in the few days I've had the watch it has already started to pick up a bit of tarnish. Also I only want to age it a little so used 1 egg for 15mins rather than James' 2 eggs and 20mins. Finally the light conditions were quite different when I took the before/after pics so it may be hard for you to spot a change. There is one though - it has further aged the bronze. Before... After.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
