Hello guys,
in the next days i will work on my first build: 1680 from cartel the start point.


I have looking for reshape case (and i think to be' able with paper and dremel)

After that i would change tube and crown (with athaya 700). The athaya tube going inside well or i need to create more space???

Second step DIAL and Bezel:
I want create a good patina with smoke cigar, for the bezel i would use bleach.

I really don t know how to fade dark the pearl.
any suggestion?

last of all reshape gently the bezel coin and add some use years look to the case and braclet (Any suggest?)


Let me know what you think and what can i do ti build better.

THANKS TO ALL OF US :)

Have a good forum! And passion build!
Regards
Matt
