The Hulktimate - Green goes Gold!

[mrsullivan]

Superb work, the step by step process is such a lesson. How long did it take you to finish it (glue drying time apart)?

The result is stunning. Rolex did'nt go that road yet but who knows? The green being it's signature color and in the hype these days, you may have triggered something here!

Great thread!

wow, this is stunning! I can't imagine the effort you've put into this by handling such micro parts, something I'll never achieve lol

How is that not part of Rolex product line? Looks amazing!

I know right? Seems like a no brainer to me. I thought it would come in the last release as a reborn icon to give disappointed Hulk fans a real boost. I waited 2 1/2 years on the list for a gen only to watch the last one my AD got in AFTER September 2020 go to someone else. Arghh.

I did this over a period of several months, it was always a back burner project until this last push. The multiple insert paint mods (5 or 6) were probably an hour each but tossing all but one out, I'd say probably 8 hours total time. I spent an hour alone taking the donor watch apart as I didn't want it to get scratched up. BTW the crystal is a Clark's with AR cyclops, one of my fav's. The host watch is a BP.

You can see on that blue dial how gold text isn't really a plus. I'm going to re-make a FG LB with a better blue dial.

Your work is insane. Great work!

YES! What a cool project! Very nice work.

Once you grind off the marker pins, how do you center/align? Is it all by eye?

 

[mrsullivan]

That's dedication, lots of time and patience here, all my respect.
It also shows how classic and "basic" (in a good way) parts such as BP and Clark's can lead to a stunning build. Awesome.

Yes just by eye bro. I had another dial close by for comparison. With slow cure epoxy there is plenty of time to nudge the markers around.

Nice dude! I don't know I would get it centered. Every time I hang a shelf it's like 1/16" out of level, even when I use a level. And then, of course, my wife sees that from the other room. SMH.

Personally I like this combo more than blue/gold and gold/black...

Great job bro, amazing as always

Whao ! In "normal" time I don't like gold watches. ..but this combo is AMAZING !
I had already though to make a dial with other markers but I said it's too hard to realise....AND YOU MADE IT! And without any defect!
I'm agree with the other...you're a genius !
