Very cool how he creates this.

Does he have a contact besides IG? I don't use IG.

Cool! My 2000 IWC has patina that developed. But there are shortcuts.

Thanks gents

I have the SRP777 too and often times the blue SRP looked black. So I thought this was a cool way to differentiate it. I have a cool vintage bracelet to try it out on.

Just got my SRP777 done with a coffee patina mod, swapped the day wheel for a Kanji and swapped the chapter ring for brushed silver.

Pretty cool!

I recently saw a vintage modded SKX on the Crown and Buckle site...now I am thinking of getting an SKX just to do that mod... the fade bezel turned grayish looks awesome, and the patina looks good too. problem is only J models available and they are more than what I spent on my SRP777 new. But in the end it's still an inexpensive watch.
