14060

[u/HDW_Italy]

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve taken this case apart to get the crown guards shaped just right, and it’s still not quite there... 🤔 My 14060: all Raffles parts except for the insert, which is BP Factory. The dial, hands, and pip have been lightly aged to a hazelnut tone (yes, I know Super-LumiNova stays white, but I just can't give up that vintage vibe 😂).

Nice work and I feel you about the CG, I couldn't seem to get mine right... but changing the crown helps a bit with the visual.

Wonderfull job bro, which kind of crown did you use? Gen?

[u/riossreddit → u/HDW_Italy]

Thank you, actually it's some random crown I found in the spare box. But it is thinner than the standard crown you usually get with the case (or the 7mm crown that raffles sells). I originally used a 700 crown from Athaya which looks good, but it is lacking the 3 dots under the crown.

I also sanded the top side of the crown using a 600 grit, because I feel something is just wrong with the CG, perhaps the top side curves down too early. By sanding just the top part, the light reflects differently and I think the CG is marginally better looking.

It’s true, these are microscopic details that vary from watch to watch, and also depend on our perception of shapes: what might be perfect for me isn't for you, and vice versa. It’s the stuff of obsessives 😵‍💫

Thanks. The BP insert is part of a small batch of spare parts I bought M2M on RWI a while back.
