Thread: Mini 6152 homage build

    Mini 6152 homage build



    Reshaping the case. It started as a Jackson mini-fiddy. So far I have only really worked on the lugs mostly thinning them out to get the more vintage style shape.



    Removed the Reg. TM. from crownguard, polished it and knocked the pin up to give the look of the vintage crownguards.

    I need to finish the reshape and finish painting resin filling and luming the dial.

    Reshaping a case is a slow process.

    I start by getting the rough shape made using my Dremel with a grinding bit and files. Then I start to smooth it out with sandpaper (60 grit, 100 grit, 220 grit, 500 grit, 1000 grit, 2000 grit). Then polishing as shown in this thread. http://www.intlwatchleague.com/showt...hed-watch-case. I am currently on the sand paper with this case.
