Considering Frankinshhhteining a Timewalker

[fakiep]

I was curious to see if anyone has attempted anything like this before. I have a new Timewalker on the way, and I was hoping to Mod it so that it has the Red Seconds Counter and Red hour markings like this special USA edition. I was thinking about creating a stencil and hand painting the hour markers. Any thoughts, warnings or advice? :cheers:

Take this:

And have it look like this, minus the seconds subdial markings:

I haven't thought of it, but I wouldn't try it either. Seems difficult, and I wouldn't want to send another watch to my watch graveyard.

The hand is no big deal but man, those red hour markers would be a nightmare to get right.

For the minute markers, I would create a rectangular template, paint the entire box, then wait for it to dry, then repaint the white markers back on. It wouldn't be entirely accurate, because there is still a bit of black showing between the red and white, but it is probably better than painting a perimeter of red around the white.

what about the 9 o'clock subdial?
