Eddie Lee Version (Dec. 2005)


Crown problem fixed thanks to Randy.

replaced original crystal (bad plastic / bad shape) with a bombé plexi.

Strap is original and of remarkable good quality...

Some bleach (4min bath) and a nice soft brush does a miracle.

Looks like a survivor from a North Atlantic Campaign.

Leather conditioner treatment after the bath to prevent from cracking.

and now some engraving on the back to match...

Comparition shot.

I find the case shape more cushion shaped and quite a bit bigger than the 183 (bought from Eddie on May 2005)

... and of course a little less bulkier than the 127.

hands on hands with it´s cousin (Military Rollie from Homer - Jan 2006)...

This one was bought from Joshua last January being automaticcaly snapped by my wife...

She always had an exquisite taste.

Uncommon and highly elegant rep.

quite the trophy is all respects - a satisfying project indeed, excellent work!

You´re the master Enzo...

And I find you responsable for my joy with this beauty.

I must thank you for that!

Your reviews on it made me buy it and your art makes me want to copy you!

Please teach me how to age the plexi glass (fissurizing and yellowing it)

ciao
