Been wearing the Bee all weekend! - props to @psapas for letting me have it and all creds for the mods to @aflop - the number 1 AP modder out there :punk:


  • Shaved hands
  • Shaved tachy
  • ETA DW
  • Custom Cyclops
  • Double AR
  • Brushed Bezel
  • Sunken Screws
  • Grese / Silence

The 'smudge' at the 120 mark on the tachy is just bad lightening. Pictures don't do this piece justice. It's just stunning and the 2xAR makes the yellow pop like nothing else!

Happy that you like it bro ^__^ Show your Bike with it...It is perfect matching hehe :)

Well, I have seen a lot of shaved tachy's here. Time for me to try it also.
Here is my first attempt

Maybe some experts like [MENTION=64642]aflop[/MENTION] can tell me how much I have to shave for the best look?

And also the shaved hour hand

A kind of Dremel with a very low number of revolutions and a sand paper.
Plus a black lacquer for the re-finishing

Is that a nail shaping tool ?

Exactly Dave. It's from my wife. She hates me for that but hey, I need it for my watches [emoji23]

It's perfect because it has a smooth setting for the speed.

I also have a Dremel 3000, but the speed is way to fast for some jobs

No, unfortunately not. The bits are smaller.
Here is the nail tool bit next to a Dremel bit. Dremel on the right

But the nail tool comes with a huge box of different bits.
