Recommended Posts

More progress on build inspired by Tanukjaju, the 47mm Vintage Submersible with Manual Conversion from Automatic. Wanted to create a watch Submersible that is less bulking and more "lean" in appearance... kind of a "6154 of Submersibles". waiting for DSN Brevet Crown and tube set. Going to use a Molnija 3602. Will have to shift crown position forward 3mm.

 

Watch started life as:

Things accomplished so far this week:

-Reshaped and polished case

-New GS PHD (size 33 1/2) Plexi

-Drilled and reshaped lugs for lug bars

-Vintage Pearl

 

Meantime, discovered liquid masking film that can be used to cover sausage indices to all for repainting of rest of dial... decided to experiment with original dial. Here is the product, purchased at hobby store, and the repaint of dial...Final watch will have different dial!!!:

Final watch will have entirely different dial without date window.

So what do you think??? Any suggestions???
