1675 Fuchsia
And here is another 1675 I recently made. This time it's an early '59-'60 reference.
For this project I could luckily use both Yodog's own deep scallped bezel and one of those fuchsia insert that made so much fuss lately.
I have to say yodog's bezel is a nice improvement over the stock vietnam one. The scallops are more vertical and go down all the way to the bottom of the side profile, making the bezel (in a way) look closer to a 6538 bezel.
The famous "fuchsia insert" that was sold recently, is up to his name. The fading is very even, and natural enough. Imho a less even fading would have made it more natural, but all in all it's just a matter of taste.
The colors are very nice and different than anything I ever got with my experiments. A very strong fuchsia tone, matched with a light blue/almost aqua. Quite appealing
The rest of the parts is just what you expect from a high end build: vietnam PCG case, vietnam true gilt dial, raffles hands with dwarf GMT hand, raffles dwo, gen crown. All good quality parts that have been extensively discussed already so I won't bore you any longer
More pics
Hope you enjoyed, more projects coming soon
