I'll let the pics do the talking!

Like Akira said in the sales thread, the scratches on the crystal are not noticable to the naked eye!

A wristie!

 

[accord]

Good stuff man, loving the riveted bracelet

 

[rolly_olly]

Thanks Bonesy!

I think this one is going to be my beater! I love it

Love the watch, but those scratches are making the watch, not-so-beautiful.

 

[rol_man]

Very nice... developing that nice look of a vintage tool watch. Enjoy!

This is supposed to be a 40 year old watch, and has been aged to look so! Makes it look more authentic. The scratches you see on the crystal, can't be seen by the naked eye. I'll post a wrist shot soon

this is scratched and missing a pearl Nothing a WM pearl and some plexi polish + cape cod can't cope with

Nice vintage watch, enjoy

Nah, I like it just the way it is doc!

I saw a gen milsub sell on Ebay a while back, it looked like it had gone through a cement mixer. It sold for £60,060!!

Michael wood was interested in it! http://horologyclub.com/forum/viewt...k=t&sd=a&sid=a24e1309cd121c0dd0849ab5b85ca240

Nice watch, the scratches and scuffs fit this watch perfectly. now you just have to find a beat up looking pearl and its a perfect vintage. congrats.

 

[slimslim]

nice looking vintage. it has a nice aged look. i think vintage watches look a bit odd when they don't look old enjoy it; the bracelet is great btw...

 

[rolly_olly]

Thanks guys!
Just added a wristie to the OP

Beautiful watch, aged excellently but I'd replace the pearl as the hole its left just attracts to the pearls alignment on the bezel.

Anyone know where I can get a vintaged pearl from?

 

[Bonesey]

Yuki sells an empty one that you can fill yourself, or there's the gen option ($100) if you keep your eye out on the vintage rolex market.

 

[Low Note]

I like the "relic" look for this piece. Nice job!

Thanks Bonesey! Just as helpful as ever! I assume you just fill the empty one with vinatged Lume?

Cheers, Low Note!

Very nice work on this piece.
I would like a vintage Rolex one day

 

[Seifert]

The scratches are only adding vintage look. Keep 'em, it looks awesome

 

[d4m.test]

Um, You MADE this rep to look "aged?" You did an excellent job because, for a minute, I thought it WAS a gen! I've seen vintages like these on eBay; and like has been said, they've sold for a "pretty penny!" Good job!
