Or as I prefer the BM LE
So recently purchased a 145.022-69 case with an uncommon bezel. I had a few other bits lying around and thought that I should at least use the bits rather than leave them in the drawer.

The case


Add one Thomas Preik case back


One new 321 dial before being sent to the top secret BM R&D facility (code named the kitchen)


process completed and mounted on 321


Add some hands


And a monster is born Sorry about the crappy pics

 

Mine says hello!

Tom

 

Well done. Looks great.

 

Well done sir! All of this talk about personal frankens sure gets you thinking. Thanks for sharing.

 

I love this. A lot! Kidney and future
ex wife dibs...

 

How long do you cook it for and at what temp?

 

The 220 bezel adds some sex appeal to Mrs. Frankenstein

 

Great job!!!

 

Inquiring minds want to know

 

Nice. Very nice.

 

I didn't bake it. I placed it under the grill or broiler set to Hi and constantly checked until the desired colour was achieved. It doesn't take long and I was extremely concerned about drying the dial out or drying too much.

Side by side with an original of the same year as the donor case.

 

Ahh now you're finally living up to your name . Barking mad and barking awesome.

 

Nice

 

Wow, beauty !

 

But, it's nice (and constructive) work. Taking a closer look at the dial, it's interesting to see how the plots reacted to the heat.

 

Shrank and turned brown...............bit like a slab of roast beef.

 

Looks really good (the watch)

 

Mine say hello . A little in the same direction? Haven't baked my dial?
