Upgraded SKX031 mm sub

I re-moded what I modified last time。

This change

Bezel insert、Plastic windshield at Yahoo Auction

Hour and minute hands Raffles time

The last needle had a strong orange、It was cool with that、This time, the color of the dial is close to the night light、Luminous light enters the tip of the minute hand and changed to a design close to the original millisab、Thanks to the hairline that gives the needle a slightly vintage feel, it feels good to shine on the mat by adjusting the light.。

Soak the bezel insert in the pipe finish for 5 minutes to slightly fade it.、Lightly rubbed with amor。

Also, as for the windshield, I think that the lower part is probably 2 to 3 mm in order to adjust the height of the external plastic windshield for 1665, but I cut it and then scraped it.。After that, it is worth adjusting the circle to make it a little smaller so that it can be inserted by scraping the base part of the outer circumference with a gold file according to the size of the glass packing.、I think I was able to reproduce the convexity of the antique plastic windshield watch when viewed from the side.。

This time it took a lot of manual work to process the parts,、I'm pretty self-satisfied、It feels like the appearance of the watch has improved.、I have a clock that I just want to see。

  1. ichi、I am always grateful for your help。The atmosphere is outstanding!
    However、Of this time、It's amazing to scrape or cut the plastic windshield!
    Not just a modder、It ’s completely a craftsman ’s realm.。
    Incidentally、I can't undertake such a job! (Sweat)

    1. mr.tencho's、thank you for your comment。
      Windshield first、If the diameter is about 0.45 mm larger, I thought that it would fit if I crimped it all the way, but I couldn't fit it and the tool couldn't come off while holding the windshield.、There are cracks underneath、I had a hard time。Also, the height is too high and the balance is bad.。Actually, the windshield was once thrown into the trash can。The next day, I was just thinking about shaving the bottom or side during work from the morning, and when I got home, I picked it up from the haste trash can、Anyway, I threw it away and cut it with a throwing momentum、Even if you enter, you can crush a part of the packing、Due to the proper cutting with a cutter, the lower part is jagged and the roughness is noticeable when viewed from an angle.、Finally today is a holiday and I'm going to file it horizontally、I re-cut the outer circumference so as not to crush the packing, but I finished it.、It's not something I want to undertake ...。

    The processing is written lightly, but I'm just impressed with the very elaborate remodeling 👍
    I think it's really difficult to process the windshield、It's a stone 😊

    1. Earth's、Thank you!
      That's right。I was able to write it lightly because it was completed、As I wrote in the reply to the store manager, I had a hard time。When I tried it with a genuine needle that does not use the hairline of the needle, I processed it with a tool like a glass fiber pen.、Glass fiber sticks in my hand and it tingles、There were various failures。
