One thing that was always bothering me is the bezel of the silix... mine came with almost no profile at all and it looked very odd. So I took the time and cut every single teeth again. I know this is not perfect by any means, but it is way better then before... Not sure if I should bronze it or not. Kinda like the NOS look.

[MENTION=36888]NCRich[/MENTION] It's way better with this slightly aged insert [emoji1305]
Next it needs an Athaya and better hands

EDIT : where is the lume at 9 ?

Son of a bitch? I haven't opened it up and it is not in the watch. All I did was change the bezel insert. WTF?

Thanks, mate. The fade is good, but I took the scratches too far...it looks incongruous with the pristine dial. But that's fixable

I agree, I think with the aging you did to the case you need some strong coffee on the lume as well, how long did the insert sit in bleach for that one?

Just ordered my second big crown even though I'm not finished with the first, my first will be a NOS vibe and the second lightly aged but I'm going to try to achieve a blue like hue on the insert.
