This is awesome. The question is... how does it hold up. Are you going to put these on watches that are out in the real world so we can see how they hold up? That would be awesome.
how many different inserts did you use for the test paints?
Honestly its time proven and tested. I did the batman insert as my test mule and stripped it with ascetone between each colour. Only thing that was hard to strip was the paint pen funnily enough. Kind of ironic because i have paint pen modded an insert in the past and it lasts maybe 2-3 months if your lucky.
The submariner i showed above is my daily beater. I wear it to work every day. It gets covered in oil, sweat and just a ton of general abuse thrown as it, and honestly it looks no different now than it did when i first did the paint. On top of that, if it did ever fade, it takes all of 20, minutes to take it off, dip it in ascetone, mount it on the box with double sided tape and give it a fresh coat.
Kj2020 killed it by figuring out this method. I dont doubt there is a better tone of silver out there somewhere but i only have so much space on my paint shelf for different tones of silver
no your not getting the same effect as a ussd or sponge bob insert, but if your doing multiple watches the value is hard to beat here.
