Microstepper Quartz Paul Newman Daytona mod

[NCRich]

Had this Gate cheapy that I really liked but it just wasn't realistic. The case was all wrong, 20mm lugs, metal insert, shiny plastic looking dial. But it had potential.

I had a spare cartel case, and low and behold it fit. Even the crown switched over and screwed right down. Exact same crown. So with a much better case I put on a Clark tropic 21 plexi.

Better look

Took it apart

Matte sprayed the dial. Toned it down a lot and made it look "richer"

Now for some subtle aging. I don't want some bottom of the sea look. Repmaster1234 turned me on to this little aging kit.

You have to practice with it but it does the job.

So with a bit of subtle aging and a relume of dial and hands.

and together
