Maybe some of you remember my very first engraved dial:
viewtopic.php?t=6929
This first one was acid etched, that's when I catched the virus...
I had to create her sister for a ‘very special’ customer , now with laser engraving.
Same principle: No paint, only metal patina and verdigris.
DIAL: I’ve totally reworked the turtle and water design,
laser engraving: 5 levels
First heavy buffing to rounded the edges,
then patinas,
then detailed polishing to deoxidize the pattern and reveal the brass.
Indices and hands without lume, per 'customer' demand.
CASE: Aliexpress crappy fake bronze: this case is actually Stainless Steel + PVD bronze coating, nothing compares with the first case which was CuSn8 ☹
Just one pic for this watch: as soon as she saw the watch, she didn’t want to put it off her wrist anymore
