nice job on the breitling. The problem here is that rub on letters will not stay on it..no protection from glass.
oke, let's first do what i can do
new glass...handmade
the new glass is neady..now the preparations for the black plate.
I wanted to keep the letters so i put a litlle platic cement on them to protect them a bit.
from here it's trouble in paradise
..i have no idea how i can recover the black plate without losing the letters. I tried to sand it off in differend ways but the biggest problem is to do an even sanding.
if i try to make a clean sanding..i loose the letters..
thats what i have sofar...ugly
btw here is another that arrived yesterdag at my doorstep...it's very comfy to wear and you can see everything time+date in one view.
so i need idea's for the black plate...how can i do an even sanding withoud losing the letters?
How do i put a decent strong black coating on it. I spray it on for an even view?
Do i bake it in the oven??
How did Seiko did it in the first place...did they spray it on and baked it afterwards or ...?[/img]
