Long shot but any US based members here willing to tap and install an Athaya tube on a TC case? Obviously willing to compensate you for your time, just dont have the tools or space to do it myself.

I have finally joined the big crown cool guy club .

Specs :
raffles case
aged and drilled lugs.
brassed bezel
baked insert to a chestnut brown
raffles dial - aged lume - moisture damage but the crystal hides it too well, will go a bit further with it
aged hands and painted seconds hand
eta clone with setting bridge mod and date wheel removed.
water tight / air tight.
hasn't left my wrist all weekend.




the sunlight is exaggerating the aging on the case. it is not that drastic.

I think the vintage bug got me... 75 pages of reading later and on the list this goes. Particularly in love with this model. Something about the gilt dial with tarnish...
