007 James Moores Rolex 5513 Buzz saw Project
I got very interested in this Rolex 5513 watch Buzz saw. Hoping i could achieve the total outlook of this watch.
The bezel would be the most difficult to make . Its isn't the usual coinage style , cutting has to be done at an angle to make it look like a "saw".
The dial indices has a dark brown patina . Acrylic paints wouldnt work , my mere guess would be some colourings and iron powder to make the speckles on it.
Not much fading on this bezel , just some scratches and get the pearl removed.
How about this rotor ? Achievable ?
Specs will be based on a cartel V2 case set , with a good 2 liner dial, A2836 / eta movement.
Preliminary works done
First phase cutting of buzz saw bezel
Closed up
underlying bezel
comparing to gen pic
aged hands as per gen look, needs remove second hand and CP mod.
comparing gen hands
spare dial to test the colours and base. Acrylic too thick .
to be continued..
