SUPER VINTAGE!!!! mini.....

[flavor flav]

just finished this up today.. started as a mini fiddy... i aged the metal on the case and cg, airbrushed the dial, vintage wabi lume, hands, cg, and added a plexi crystal and a vintage strap.

it was hard to photo the dial with the plexi so i removed it for this pic..

Excellent result mate !!!

A bit too much of a 'destruction' (especially prominent case dings and dial numerals and txt) for my taste, but a nice specimen - nevertheless.

This will make someone a very happy owner, for sure.

cheers,
babola

Nicely pock marked Flav - I understand where babola's coming from, but also your point that this is meant to look like time and rough usage. Good result.

Ha ! Mint rep ?!
Mate, what I meant by too much was just a little too dark indices and scratched-out dial txt...none of the real vintage PAMs I've seen so far really had that much of a destruction on them (unless they've been sitting @ the bottom of a Mediterranean sea for some time )...nothing wrong with yours really, actually quite cool look altogether.

Hi Flav,

This is a nice looking one indeed. One question, where did you source the crystal and was it a drop in fit, or were additional mods required ?

That looks absolutely awesome Flav! I agree a vintage tool watch shold look like it's seen some rough use, very nice.

Flav, are these one-offs created for customer requests or are they for your personal collection? I was lucky enough to snag your Ti Cali when you got bored of it

these are for my customers.. my personal collection is all gens.

and yes... the ti cali! you got an awesome watch!

WOW WOW WOW! The look is really vintage and I've no doubt it "feels" vintage. Congrats, and I'll
bet you'll have one very satisfied customer there.
