hyster 0 Posted December 20, 2013 Had a bit of a crack at aging a Drsd I bought recently. Bleached the insert, aged the dial and hands, softened all the sharp edges of the case and drilled the case to take a Yuki tube and gen crown. Silicone greased all the seals too. I think think the crown guards need a nibble but I'm pretty happy for the cash spent so far. I plan to drill out the spring bar case holes, need to find the right size drill for that and get some 2mm spring bars. Thought somebody might be interested in a pic.

I never understood why would anyone buy a new watch and mod it to look old. But yours is just wow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
