    Dreadnought With PVD Bezel

    First time I've seen this done before. I quite like it although I prefer the original:

    I'd like to see it on a black rubber strap, it would look pretty smart I reckon. Nice to have as an optional extra I suppose.

    Interesting idea, but I am not sure I would get Jack at IWW to do that on a whim, his time is quite valuable, and due to the reasonably wide section between crystal and bezel, I am not sure the colour change works.
    I agree that the Sinn rubber looks smart on it though, very nice.

    Nah from me! Might fly with half the bracelet PVD'd too or suchlike i.e. more modding, but that sole item just looks odd.

    (not that any DN should be tampered with, of course!)

    Very nice to have a Spare PVD Bezel to be able to change the look when you want ,

    I wear my Dreadnought a lot on a Sinn Rubber Strap and Dive Deployant and I reckon the Black Rubber Strap would work well with a PVD Bezel . A Nato might work well with it too .

    That being said I am very happy with mine in Original Format

    Cheers,
    Vic

    Not sure about the bezel, but the rubber strap looks quite cool on the DN. Although at least as it was an extra bezel so no harm in experimenting.

    I applaud modding watches, but for some reason this mod doesnt work IMO.

    Here you go Ralph ,

    Not great shots but gives an idea of how it looks . Since taking these pics I have put 2 Rubber Sides on without the Sinn wording . The Watch Head balances really well on this strap combination and in reality the clasp colour is very close to that of the case .

    All the best,

    Vic












    And of course the classic look on Bracelet

    I used to wear mine on Sinn rubber quite often too. Ultimately the bracelet usually won out but it's a good option nonetheless.

    (Hope the first half of this years Premiership hasn't traumatised you too much Vic. I'm sure Brendan knows what he is doing!!)

    Killing me Benny ,

    If only FSG would give hims some funds to re-inforce the squad . Having a squad where about a third deserve to be there does not cut it .

    I do like what he is trying to do and hope he can do some business in January and then kick on for a top six finish .

    Cheers,

    Thanks, Vic.

    Looks a great fit for sure.
