Vintage inspired build
Posted: October 27th, 2019, 12:19 pm
I have finally completed my first prototype dial after 6 months of hard work. The 36mm G.I/S General Issue Series. This vintage inspired watch take its design from 3 different vintage dirty dozen watch designs. With an aftermarket modified bezel case and a dial that is handmade and lacquered with descent vintage patina lume. The case has a big size crown and a low dome GS plastic crystal to give it a real vintage feel. There are purposely made flaws in the watch to give it a not so new look. I set out 6 months ago with an vision of what I wanted to achieve but had no idea how I would go about it. There are at the moment no designs that have the seconds at the correct 6 position other than the originals that I know of. I have 3 different vintage inspired designs at the moment and I am pleased at the final outcome. The logo is vintage inspired also and I prefer numeric logos because they are different and I have a patented trademark pending for these logos. It has a aftermarket case at the moment but I am searching for a case maker to create the design I am looking for. Tell me what you think.... Pic heavy
