Arisen from the depths of my watch bin, an incredible and rare ghost 1680 red dial submariner - catch a glimpse before it vanishes.
No papers, no history, nothing - provenience unknown. Much like the name, it’s like a apparition appearing out of nowhere. But the work was real:
- Fully reshaped case including lugs, chamfers, spring bar holes, and CG’s
- Case repolished and rebrushed
- Aged and repolished bezel
- Ghosted Insert, backside maintained as black
- Relumed Dial and hand set to match with thin, lightly pillowed lume plots
- Hands aged in an organic blend of apple cider vinegar and fresh pacific seawater
- Reassembled with freshly lubed gaskets, all parts compression fitted
