Haven’t modded anything in a loooonnng is time. Got my 1680 from mary last week and had some free time this wkd so I figured I’d get started on it.
Need to do some touch up work on the lume but most of it is done. Just waiting on my spring bars and my atheya crown n tube.
1. Reshaped the case. Case is thinner slightly.
Reshaped the crown guards. Re-brush and re-polish the correct parts.
2. Aged the case a little bit.
Drilled larger lug holes for the springbars that should be delivered today.
3. Faded and browned the bezel a bit
4. Lume applied to the dial (not at perfect as I wanted but shit happens). Reminder: don’t drink coffee before lume work!
4. Darker lume applied to the hands to give it a different look than the dial. Haven’t decided if I like it or not yet.
6. Added some patina to the DWO so it has a nice tan color with some darker spots on the dates.
Now all I need is my atheya crown n tube.
Lmk what ya think!
