almost forgot my order for this... its been more than a year.... suddenly today my office boy hand me a pos laju parcel!
i opened... its a wontancraft watch box... i was thinking who bought me this present? i didnt order it...
so when i open it....
its a project watch i participated last yr 2008
its a project watch that can fulfill my spec
a 47mm DLC coated on a sandblasted 1950 case
thick aquarium dome crystal
california sandwich tobacco color dial
gold hour and minute hand
the case been sandblasted before dlc, u can see the contrast with the crown which was not sandblasted
i been searching for malaysia company who can do dlc... but so far cant find any... hopefully i can find it one day!
the sandwich california is something different from original...
but i was thinking this will improve the lume... (yeah... i'm some1 crazy bout good lume)
to save cost, this round i ordered a non decorated eta 6497 movement
so i choose a non see through dlc coated screw in caseback, it been specially engraved ! ( YEAH the X@ MAS.... for those who know the history )
matching this with a wontancraft strap... specially crafted
also the dlc vintage pre v buckle!
the lume is tremendous, super thick c3 lume has been reapply on the dial!
it is better than my pam111....
sit beside my rxw mm25 who has a california dial as well,
both 47mm but very different
1 polish case 1 dlc black case
1 cushion case with onion crown 1 with divers crownguard
1 wire lugs 1 screw in pin lug
1 black dial with goldish track the other with tobacco dial with white track
1 with blued hands the other with gold hands
1 with printed dial 1 with sandwich dial
conclusion - 1 for the night 1 for the day
i'm happy with the result.... worth waiting in the end....
not trying to rub salt on those who miss the pig... but i am very sure that i cant sleep tonight if i dont put this pig next to it to shoot a few photo!
