I really love this series, quality videos indeed. Keep up the good work, it is very much appreciated, as I will be building a mod when i get the parts for my 18th birthday!
If you want a more yellowish patina you can use turmeric, dissolve some in a very little water apply on hands/markers. Put in oven for 10 minutes and done.
@@DIYWatchClub Thank you for your answer. I will try to age some steel models. I‘m a big fan of the Laco Erbstück collection and would like to build my own.
We tried the method with a lume pip and got moderately successful results. But problem is you need a good solution of mask the non pip area, so you have more control over how aged the rest of the bezel insert become. Try it out, it should be a fun experiment!

Still anxiously awaiting the next video in this series!
0:55 looking forward to this video
You guys do the COOLEST content.
Another great video
Glad you like it!
Hey when do you plan to continue this series and show how you can age your case? I really appreciate your work and would like to try it out by myself.
It's taking some time, but a case aging video is coming. Just curious, what kind of case are you looking to age? Steel or bronze or something else?

When is the aged casing video coming out?
I am waiting for the next video, its been over a year
Great stuff where’s the follow up?
Hello! Looks good. Are you planning to make a video about aging the bezel and case?
Yes I will!
Good stuff! Will technique #1 (just baking the hands at 250°C for 30 minutes) also work on Seiko hands with Lumibrite lume?
How do you age a date wheel?
Let me check with the team to see if we can create another video on that in the future
when’s the next one coming out?
We're working on some other videos at the moment, but we'll return to this series once we're done with the new videos. Stay tuned!
Salt and beer works well.
oh really? Let us try this later =) thanks!
@@DIYWatchClub Yes!! Rusts and ages really nice.
What about patina a lume pip, same method?

Thanks for your information 👍
Which method did you use to achieve the patina at 6:08?
That's done with method 1 with higher temperature
leave it to DWC - shitty watches for people without any knowledge, to not now how to age hands.
