Bored one evening and notice an incredibly cheap ($25) Spectre on the Gate. Thought it might be an amusing project and low risk. So it arrived with a very shiny dial, crappy painted lume, god awful insert, and coke bottle green crystal. It did run though.
As luck would have it I had a high dome plexi in my spares box and some time. So I dulled down the dial with some matte spray and relumed the dial and hands, also clipped off the end of the sec hand.
I bleached the insert, matte sprayed it, and installed the high dome plexi.
Couple of wristies
Not ashamed of it anymore. Actually turned out better than I thought. This would be a good watch for someone who wanted to learn how to play with watches to start with.
