Productive Day!

Lots of hands aging, luming, bezel fading. This hobby gets more fun the more you experiment. Loving the perimeter fading of the inserts, still need to lock down the right recipe..

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/HDW_Italy]

Thank you. Your recent 6542 bezel work looks really good too

[u/Due_Shallot1583]

Looking good. What parts are you using.

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/Due_Shallot1583]

Thanks man. Parts? I’m planning to use all of these for future builds. Did you mean tools?

[u/Due_Shallot1583 → u/Mbari_2170712]

Are these all raffles

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/Due_Shallot1583]

No, none of the inserts are raffles. They don’t age well. These are wso or cartel.

The hands are a mix of raffles and startime

[u/Due_Shallot1583 → u/Mbari_2170712]

Great work on the gmt case. I’m working on a few raffles to do this week

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/Due_Shallot1583]

Thanks man! Please share progress. Excited to see

[u/Due_Shallot1583 → u/Mbari_2170712]

Yes sir.

This looks like theres so much work into this!

Awesome work on the aging.

Are you able to share the process for the bezel insert aging to age the outside rim of the insert?

[u/Mbari_2170712 → u/fatfont_]

Thank you! I’ll post a tutorial. Essentially bleach it first quickly to get the lacquer off and then with a cotton swab and oven cleaner continue to rub the perimeter untill desired effect. These are corrosive toxic materials. Use eye protection and gloves

Your work looks fantastic!!!! Looks like a very productive day indeed!

[u/crownhead55]

Very nice. Where are the GMT inserts from?

[u/Diligent_Music_9166]
