I recently decided to undertake mods myself, I have been successfull so far with IMHO a Beautifull 1680. Now it is the turn of the Bond Sub, which I recently received from silix. Nice watch for the price and a good starting point for mods.
This is a very quick peak into ageing the bezel insert to be more weather beaten and vintage.
REALLY SIMPLE!!!
Take 1 Muller Yoghurt.....eat said yoghurt.......wash pot........fill pot with detergent.......put insert into pot.......leave for 2 mins........rub with tissue/cloth...let dry
VERY VERY SIMPLE.
HOWEVER!!!!!!!!
Do not do what I did at first and leave the insert in for 30 mins....forgot about it lol.
Here you can see the finished product on the watch, and also my first attempt lol:
Here she is with the beautiful 1680 I mentioned:
And finally Rep Rollie + Gen Dolce....perfect:
See how easy it is.
Enjoy!
More threads to come once I actually get the finger out and start working on the case and dial.
