    Just painted my watch

    Well, just the bezel. :)

    What do you think?




    Before -



    I was going to go orange, but played safe with black.



    I think I prefer it.

    Just need to get some C1 to relume the bezel pip though. :)

    Really good job. Looks a lot better. Now did you go about painting it?

    Thanks. :)

    Just a little Revell model paint on a 10/0 brush and a tissue to wipe off excess.

    Took about 10 minuets. :)

    Looks good to me. I think it's improved it.

    Yes, a definite improvement (but stick with the black, I don't think Orange would work!). I guess the snag might be if the paint gets rubbed or chipped off when worn, though I guess you can always easily repaint it!

    Removed it as it didn't match the dial plots. Going to fill it with white C1.

    The paint I'd enamel, so will stayvin place, the groves in the bezel are deep too, so should stay put. :D

    I was debating Orange Andy, but I think black is more suitable. :D
