(...featuring the first appearance of The Flying Cyclops!)
I discovered that great fun in the rep thing is that it allows to design and make the "watch of your dream" by modifying and assembling parts from different watches -- what I think I wouldn't with gens. :lol:
Here is my latest creation/project. As another member suggested, I'll call it Surftech, and it is my third model. Therefore, Surftech 003.
Here I am proposing it in three different incarnations, but I have resources to bring only one to life. So I would like to hear your opinion on which one is the best.
Features:
Sandwich aged bronze dial
Small seconds
Date (yes, magnified date even on a sandwich dial!)
Fat hour hand, Radiomir style
Pure SuperLuminova C3 lume
Double AR coated crystal
Auto movement
Unbranded. Nothing on the dial but the essentials
1st chance: Radiomir SS casing (this is how it actually is on my wrist in this moment).
Not AR coated yet.
A crappy wrist & lume shot (apologies, I hope to be able to take a better pic soon).
It looks as I exaggerate with SL:
2nd chance: Radiomir rose gold casing.
I did not actually made it yet, this is just a computer graphic elaboration on a couple of the former pics. But I can have the SS case gold plated in a week.
3rd chance: Luminor rose gold casing (this is the one with double AR at this time).
The double AR, IMHO, is a stunner on this grained dial. The cyclops even looks floating in the air. To my knowledge, this is the first appearance of a cyclops on a double AR coated crystal. Unfortunately, the cyclops is not AR coated and it really suffers from reflections.
A detail pic to especially show the dial grain and the floating cyclops:
Which do you prefer? The Luminor model looks good, but I feel that this opinion may be biased by the AR coat. The dial & hands style looks demanding a Radiomir casing, I would say.
And about the Radiomir styles, I am very undecided on whether SS or RG. Originally I made this watch with the RG Radiomir case in mind. It being entirely played on soft, brown tones this would seem the most natural choice. But then I found that the SS case adds unexpected and not unpleasant contrast and it's not so bad in the end.
Thanks for looking. If anyone is curious about the parts and mods, I'll be glad to tell about them.
