The Four Fifty Five

roo7 · Post by **roo7** » 26 Apr 2011 21:27

Well, today the four fifty five is commissioned.. I hope Ah Goh can source the remaining 5 pieces for the rest of us, all we need now is a group wrist shot.

Here's the photos for today, so we met up at K2 earlier today to start the modding, well actually Ah Goh is doing the modding, not us.

The FF Dial

Let's enjoy how the original SNZH57K looks like, before we replaced the <5> dial

Watch

The slightly domed crystal and the bezel is very nice, it's very hard to capture it in the photos thou.

There's a Tudor Snowflake Sub in the foreground, CEO will GPGT this

Close Up

Comparing with 6309, it's about the same size.

Well, enough of the looking, let's see what Ah Goh can do....

God hands at work

And the final smackdown

What's left of the original dials..

He's VERY fast, I assume he need 30mins, YES he really need 30mins with all the other customers collecting their watches and other businesses, other than that, I think he took a max of like 10 mins per watch

Well, after a short wait, we get to see the Fifty Five emerging.

I really like how the bezel and the crystal reflects.

Side by Side

Before and After

Lastly, a lume shot.

Well my camera batt went dead, so I can only cover the watch with my left hand and snap a shot with my right using my iPhone.

We all went back happy tonight

Aaahh..tears of joy have welled up in my eyes seeing all these pics. The decision to post and share the custom dials have finally come to fruition. It's like finally seeing my baby being born. I can't wait for the day i can finally hold mine in my arms and cradle her.

Ok, pls ignore what i posted above. But it's really cool to see all those watches. The search for a suitable strap is still on-going.

Here is mine on an old tanned paros. The modding process was a breeze and the end result is really superb. I'm running out of superlatives for this piece.

And the lume shot.
