Alrighty gang, the rough sketch is done! It will need ofcourse the fine tuning by hand using multiple grits of paper and a buffing wheel for the polish.

I gave the lugs a brush too :D

have a look,


Here we are fresh out the washer

Alright now we're talking I'm really liking the balance of this sub now!!!!!


I even did some crown gaurd work ;)


Not much of chamfers here guys but it doesn't bother me any! I only penciled in some fine ones for balance :D

Couple wrist shots :D

That's all folks hope you've enjoyed the slimming of this veitnam case set, I know I did :D

It looks awesome, I love it.

Did you use a 7020 tube? It looks shorter than usual, did you sand it?

Do you still have water resistance after sanding down the tube?

I haven't touched the tube at all.. this is an aftermarket part crown and tube sold together to me.

yes, the watch is fully water proof I have had it tested
