You've taken a lot of pride and care in your work with a fantastic end result.......and that lume.......awesome!

Thank you Steelfish ! It was another great modding experience

The main problem I have faced was to respray hands, I had to to that on 2 rounds, and I had to brush them a little. The paint was not holding well.

I am happy with the results.

And Clone ETA users BEWARE ! How you see in my first picture, that missing screw ? This is second time I see this failure ! First was on Eiderdaus DSSD, when I have receive it, and now it was on my Omega. So when you notice that your watch has stopped for no apparent reason, and when you slap it, it works again, it is maybe this screw got into the balance wheel (had this situation, before I figured out that the problem is the screw).

I am happy with the results.

As you should be. Credit given where credit due.

You'll have many years of pleasure with that beauty. :

Bonesey thank you I will soon use tips from your fantastic work also !

 

[Dr.Verylong]

Great work, +rep.

Why did you redo the case back? Is the standard black not good enough?

 

[1kenny1kenny1]

Thank you Dr.Verylong ! Well the case back text has peeled off a bit.. also it was not printed well in all areas - the same issue was with the bracelet claps.
