Wow was that so enjoyable to watch/read. I felt like I was right in front of you, kinda like when you watch a great movie or read a great book that pulls you right in. Amazing job!!

How long are you soaking the hands for? Thanks for sharing this journey - very fascinating to learn the method behind this.

EGI Bezel and case aging updated 21st may

Hi Members,
I decided to age my 47mm Egi.
Here is the bezel I’ve started with. I wanted to get some contact corrosion through the contact
from stainless-steel with carbon-steel in connection with some moisture
The bezel was polished with cape cod and the bezel pearl was made with laquer and lume powder. I applicated a drop of water on each pin

I used a file and an old scrap Metal from carbon steel to produce some Iron powder

Then, I sprinkled the powder over the bezel

The redundant powder was blown away carefully. Only the powder around the pins was left, because of the moisture from that drop of water.


I placed the prepared bezel in a container with some water ( for a moist climate ) at the bottom.

Can you tell me what powder you used for this?
