You have been warned. This is the most darkened, most sickening watch ever produced and the molly movement is one of a kind -anodized and rusted black! NW 6154 and bb blue hands acid-ed rusted. Nothing is common in this built and it is uniquely made. Long tough process is over and I hereby present to you the one and only - [Frankenstein]


Specs:


- Plexi was a pain as it is flat on bottom hand does not have room so have to make room on plexi. This "Frankenstein Flat head" is 14mm tall, really big and uniquely made.


- Caseback plexi was chosen from differed types. This is best for wearing and also accentuate "Frankenstein flat head symbol "


- Cali dial is acid aged. Text and "special train road" was filled with lume.


- Blue hands broached for Molnija movement, aged and lumed to match the dial.


- Case heavily and almost destructed aged in FeCl3 acid and Hydrochloric acid, side of the casing was drilled and attached with two metal plate with rusted screws.


- Movement all bridges, gears/wheels and screws removed to anodize, to get them all rusted in black, only after that assembled them all at once as you can see in the image, a transformed one and only Molnija movement in the entire market.


Here comes the most sickening and unique Frankenstein photos. :wave:

I think the Plexi needs a little chamfer on the edges, but its very fitting i think, maybe a crack in it would be cool !

Frankenstein is going for minor amendment. Gonna make two rivets screws on dial and maybe will make it look cracked on the surround of tall plexi. Stay tune!

Obviously a ton of time and money went into this build. I have one question: why is the plexi so darned tall?

Yes Raddave. Will plan to have it just like that. and on strap as well. Like a tortured scar.

Stay tune on next project#7 too. It will be some special movement and another theme. This time will be on Scifi. Too many idea, too little time.
