Wow do i want that.

Sol, I'd be curious as to what the recipe is to get the bezel insert to turn that shade of blue.

It's actually more grey than blue, just like the lume is more green in real life than it is on the pics.
But I didn't fadded the insert, so you'll have to ask Sol about it if you want to know more.

Sorry for my late reply. Life has been busy as fock lately. I love what you have done E!!!! I'm so happy I could cry right now!

Parts are. Old school mbw case. Gen insert and crown/tube. Dial of unknown origin but with its gen position dial feel cut off. Hands wso. Gen date wheel and Clark's super dome.

I have a bracelet with gen clasp and gen 585 end links on mbw links waiting for it at home

Bleech. undiluted. For about 20 min. On rep inserts Ive tried, that would leave no paint left what so ever. But on this gen one it really need some persuading

Beautiful. Just... beautiful.

I would love to use that type of lume on the 666 that I am building as a daily watch. It will have the glossy dial(the matte dialed one I don't want a lot of lume on) so is it C3? Thanks for sharing Wiz.

Hi Wiz, congratulation the watch is no nice, very very very good job !

Sol is a member ? Was the watch sold with this very beautiful bezel ?

 

[Wiz]

Hey, mate, Sol = Solkryssare. He is the one who did that great job on fadding the bezel insert.

 

[Plymouth]

that's fine

do you know if this bezel exist on old Submariner ?

Sais-tu si cette lunette "bleutée" a existé sur des submariner ou seulement sur une Sea Dweller ?


Thank you

As far as I know this bezel insert is gen.

You're not the first one to mention the blue tone, I think it might be stronger on the pic that it is in real life.

It's in perfect concordance with the lume

Well, in real life the lume is actually green.

So the replica is better than the gen :wub:
