Hello gentlemen.
Just would like to share a couple of builds dedicated to the incredible recent eilean series. I don't consider them as reps but custom handmade homage builds since they have certain deviations from gen and certain peculiarities. Though all the parts and services were done professionally it may still have certain imperfections or specific features.
1244:
- 45mm SS case, reshaped, softened edges. It was completely unassembled so that every part could be appropriately prepared and delicately microceramic-blasted and partially polished to have a soft patina finish. Carefully traced from available images EILEAN engravings on the side filled with rose gold lacquer. Improved water-resistance.
- Rose gold plated bezel and crown with engraved logo. Delicately blasted to remove gloss.
