Pimp My Watch!! - I need your photos!

[retroleds]

I know, some of you will find my avatar watch "fugly" - my wife calls it my "Bladerunner" watch. I was piecing together Bulova drivers, putting best glass with best cases,etc., and came to the realization that I had a few three part displays without a decent case to put them in, and a few perfect glasses except the logo was missing. This guy got a 80 grit sandblasted finish, mottled black & brown patina and a flat epoxy coating. The glass was first polished and then glass bead blasted to take away the glossy shine.

I'd like to do an article that could become a running or sporatic feature at www.thedigitalwatch.com, showing how YOU have "pimped" or otherwise altered a watch to match your style. Mismatched parts, funky finishes, great plating jobs. Come'on, show me how you "PIMPED YOUR WATCH"!!

USA readers will recognize I have played on a popular MTV show here, "Pimp My Ride", where a team of auto "designers" changes finished, fabrics, etc. to turn ordinary cars into one's that reflect the owner's personality.

Andy4000 black chromed? one of his drivers - it's on his website - you could use that if he ok's it. I think he sold it on ebay for about 80 quid or so. A bargain. FYI we do get Pimp over here - and the US version is just so much better than the UK version - cheap budget and the cars are just not.......right......for pimping. Ford Escorts are not exotic. Chrysler 300 is.

We even get "PIMP my ride" in France (american version translated)

Well, why not,
I made this watch last year, it's a 1976 stainless chronograph.
These are my 4 cats.

The customer and I agreed that his very worn Jaz Derby electro-mechanical was in need of a new life, so it is now has a six charecter, Bulova one-button driver module in it.


Fitted with a lithium 2032 battery.

Christ, that would frighten me if I pulled my sleeve up and seen that...

I think it looks cool, you would also have the satisfaction of knowing that there is no one else on the planet wearing the same type of watch ........well, at least probably not.

The proud owner owns three(4?) nighclubs in Sao Paulo Brazil. They have a million watt light show at the one club, so that watch will fit right in. Live club footage..."Club Vegas"....minimalistic techno act
