By entering into and continuing with this transaction, I acknowledge that I am proceeding with this sale voluntarily and at my own risk, and that I have read the foregoing and fully understand the nature, extent, effect and consequences of its contents.
Here is a watch I assembled mainly to pracise further with case reshaping. I wanted to give it a Milsub look even though it is mounted on a river bracelet. Inspiration came when I saw a similar (original) one on an auction site.
It is a mix of Raffles, Alix and Ebay parts. I have aged the case and reshaped and chamfered + drilled the lugs. I have also reduced the crown guards.
Dial and hands have also been aged and the crown, crown tube and crystal (Sternkreuz) were also changed.
I have faded the bezel to grey.
The river bracelet is from Raffles.
