Another work in progress!







I think I might have to swap out the movement, it's a little funky... crown still needs a little work too...

Hats off to that Chris!!!Thumbsup3.gif

I agree with Oscar, definitely captures the essence of the Vintage Bond Sub and looks a whole lot like the new Kingston from MKII...big crown and all...very nicely done!!!bravo.gif

I've been trying to capture this look for a while, started with the dial in a sandoz sub over the summer, then I saw the kingston a couple of weeks ago and realized it needed the gold hands vintage style case with the domed crystal and the big crown helps too!

The domed acrylic really sells it for me!

Oscar
I will see what I can do about your request! ;)

It's a classic 39mm case, cheap chinese domed plexi but it does have a good caseback thread and gasket so it's a good starter for a 200m homage! I may get a couple of the good german made plexi's if I get ambitious!

I have some vintage divers with domed acrylic that would make good hosts in 39mm amd 40mm ....I will look for them and see what we can do....the second I saw yours I knew I wanted 1~cool.gif
