How to age your Vintage Rolex (Bonesey style)

[Steelfish]

Actually, you could probably just squeeze the tube out onto your arm then just roll it in the bits. That would work.

Now this is a step you can add into your tutorial........a great waterproofing tip!

At first I was all like, 'hey, where did my post go?', then I was all like 'oh snap, it's a sticky!', awesome. Then I had a coffee and a ciggy to celebrate.

A well deserved sticky mate........I always celebrate with a ciggy if I manage to take a screw out of a watch band. :maty:

You got an exceptional tutorial award for it too in case you didn't notice.

Bonesey, after reading this thread, I have gotta get one of these vintage reps and do some aging to it. All of your techniques are wonderful; I don't know if I'll do the age and patina on the dial, but I'm definitely going to give the bracelet, crystal, and casing some age... Thanks for this awesome tutorial!
