Bought a River 3pc Hornlug ..

 

Nice case set but seems like the bezel , crown , back case, buckle all stainless steel finished.

Felt that it doesnt matched at all , so i decided ..

 

WAS like that

Did some magic boil egg and torching with brass to get it all coated

looks really nice, i love this case bu didnt like the fact that it was ss with bronze, i ended up with a DSN slob case :) and love it!

 

can you explain how you got this effect with a little detail, I know its all over the Homage forum but for members here it wold be pretty good to know how its done. I too would like to know!

 

Great work!! :D

yeah there are a few ways to do it .

 

1. plating with some electro stuff

2. brass wheels and some propane torch . need precision adjustment on the heat and fire .

 

lastly steady hands and safety goggles.

 

PS: make sure its stainless steel. :)

 

i might make a spare one anytime.. cos i got two .. the first was experimental, works out well !
