Re: It's a Beauty!! What Materials? Can We See Close-Ups?
In Response To: It's a Beauty!! What Materials? Can We See Close-Ups? ()

Thanks Jeff, Main structure is 6mm mdf with 20mm mdf used for the bezel,
the face is again mdf with subdials cut out and the mount behind, to give the true recessed look.

painted to a high gloss and mounted with real glass front
all 3 movements are battery quartz movements with customised hands to replicate the Monaco, the chronograpg subdials also work via hidden switches on the side of the case.

close ups to follow..

: It's a beauty!!

: Can you please tell us more about the materials? Case, dial, hands,
: movement, etc.? Also, it would be great to see some close-up
: photos of the various elements.

: Best element of all? The "British Made"!!

: Well done!!

: Jeff
