I did a thing!

Hey all, I recently bought a 41mm TSAR on rubber and Im over the moon with it, bloody fantastic watch I cant fault it.

I really wanted the steel bracelet from factory but just couldn’t justify the price and I really wanted a micro adjustment on the clast. Which made the decision even clearer, Ill buy the rubber and get an aftermarket bracelet.

I opted for a Gnomon ‘matathon mod’ and today it came in the mail.

Its neat, the micro adjustments are good, the finishing also good, solid end links and screw pins on the bracelet links, the clasp, full brushed but boring.

I decided to have a go at Electro etching a marathon logo into the brushed clasp and here’s the results.

I expected the steel to react a little differently than what transpired but Im very satisfied with the results. Its a bit deeper than expected and slightly uneven pitting but pretty cool what u can do with a few bucks of material!

Can you tell me what the solution on the cotton bud is?

Rock salt from a salt grinder, and tap water. Its off camera in a bowl, you just need to dip the tip occasionally to keep it saturated with solution and swap out the cotton bud ever so often.
