I did some research to see how these new watches were given a vintage look. I had no intention of wanting to build a replica of a known model, but the process of the build and aging really captured me. If you jumped in the time machine and went back to my bedroom anywhere between 1981-1987, you would have found me with all sorts of modeling, airbrush, and art supplies working feverishly on stacks of Star Wars toys making them look battle worn and movie correct. The fact that the Millennium Falcon toy came out of the box all white and clean was a big let down for me. I was like, "what type of crap is this?!". Being of the artistic persuasion it didn't stay that way long. I eventually graduated to more refined techniques than the black spray paint can, but continued this hobby well into mycollege years. So I had now decided I wanted to take a new watch and make it look old just for the process and learning. I considered using my O&W Sub but that seemed like a pretty big gamble being a nice watch that's no longer available, and the fact that I am still new to watch manipulation. I searched e-bay, all the usual cheap on-liners, and had finally decided I would go with an Alpha. I was not completely on board with them because I cant stand their "a" logo on the dial and I am after all doing this for aesthetics. But I figured they were cheap so if I totally botched it, it would not be the end of the world. THEN, I got wind of your Orient coupon deal for first timers order. Well, that's me! Plus, I had been wanting an Orient for some time, I just never could decide which one. So armed with my coupon, a bunch of forum "how to" pages bookmarked, and a wild hair ... I dropped my $90. 3 days later ... BOOM. Brand new Orient 2ER0001B shows up. Now, before I opened the box I was 100% on this project. I purposely chose a cheap sub, because I have my nice O&W. This would be a nearly identical watch so I though I would have no problems hacking into it and making permanent, possibly damaging, alterations. But after cracking open the box, I must admit there were some serious reservations about what I was planning on doing to this beauty. Anyway, long story short, I ended up baking the dial hands and bezel in the oven. The bezel insert also got faded in bleach and sanded. I removed the cyclops with a wood burning iron and razor blade, then the entire case was put in a can with nuts, bolts, nails, and other random metal objects for a good shake and beating. Then I went back, polished it some, rebuilt it and BOOM! ... vintage Orient Sub. It is one of my favorite watches, keeps great time, gets tons of questions and compliments. Subsequently I got rid of the O&W because I stopped wearing it! Check out my pics! - Brad, Denver, CO
