Well done rocking the 17/ 18mm Nato on the 20mm lugs. An essential Bond requirement.
Looks great.

Amazing! What are the specs on this build?

Hello,

Please, can you explain a bit how do you age hands? I am building a vintage and is my idea,

Thanks
Hands sanded down to brass, re lumed with some nice textured lume, I use chemicals, (liver of sulphur) to blacken the brass and then polish away a bit of the blackness,
Chip of a small amount of the white paint on the second hand and blacken the exposed brass, wipe away but leave the white paint a bit dirty,
It's taken me alot of trial and error to get the aging to look natural and not forced and a good powdery semi cracked lume texture

Weekend is for tweaking. Not on drugs. Drugs are bag mkaaay.

I am soaking my bezel today. I want some of that turquoise build up on my bezel.

Also tweaked some of the case shape and patina on the flanks. Polished the chamfers and swapped in a white seconds hand.
