Long story short I combined the green and black versions to make a full fantasy watch. Tinkering and changing things for ages.
Gave some patina to the dial with Tamiya and airbrushed matte varnish. Lots of dabbing.
Never touched and never used. Paid $278 all in. Selling for $240 shipped in the US.
Classically trained gospel singer singing whistle register runs and lyrics. Absolute vocal prowess. My church wasn’t like this growing up…

I’ve seen a lot of people use tea and coffee to “paint” on patina for the dial surface. Every time I’ve tried via brush or airbrush it beads. Is there some sort of surface prep necessary to get a nice finish?
I have stared buying up little bits from eBay here and there for a 3135 movement and was curious how far people have gone frankening the movements?
It started with some reversing wheels for the automatic works and have been slowly accumulating groups of parts from there. Yes, I know this is absolutely insane.
Using the u/cool-awareness-9514 method with a bit off the crystal and a lot off the case back. Absolutely chewed my fingers up doing it manually with sandpaper.
The man changed a region and was an amazing human.
This guy just posted his first video on YouTube 2 days ago. Absolutely top level work.
I’m looking to move an OC case back a few years and am looking for a 3035/3135 transitional dial (27.5mm) with screen printed lume. Anyone got any leads?
Man, I can’t tell you how many emails I have sent to suppliers with zero response. Y’all, I’m trying to give you money! But in a world of silence there is Amy. So quick, so nice, and products that come as advertised. The best.
Service and some broaching of the hands and we’re back in business. Custom strap from Handdn .
In the perpetual planning of my grail 6542, I stumbled across a Perezcope instagram post to what has now moved the goalpost into the stratosphere. Feast your eyes.
Just got this little UG up and running and was curious if anyone had strap suggestions. It had a 17mm lug width which is limiting for sure.
Hello! I am looking at a JLC military watch, and the hands look original, but I am curious what the consensus is on the dial…. I still think I might go for it.
Can any super clone movement be converted to free sprung? There are free sprung balance assemblies available ($$$) and was curious if anyone has given it a go.
