- Making a set of vintage watch hands by applying faux patina to them! We'll outline three methods of aging a set of watch hands without needing to relume or apply a new lume to them. Each method provides a different type of patina, each suitable for different application of vintage mod.
This is the second part in the new series of guides on making an aged watch mod. The aging mod series will proceed with one video detailing the process of one particular watch component. Previously we have aged the lume indices on a watch dial, and in next we’ll begin aging the exterior of the watch. Stay tuned!

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!
No better ways to celebrate a birthday with a mod! Have fun!
0:55 looking forward to this video
Still anxiously awaiting the next video in this series!
You guys do the COOLEST content.
Another great video
Glad you like it!
Good stuff! Will technique #1 (just baking the hands at 250°C for 30 minutes) also work on Seiko hands with Lumibrite lume?
Hello! Looks good. Are you planning to make a video about aging the bezel and case?
Yes I will!
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?
@@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.
I am waiting for the next video, its been over a year
When is the aged casing video coming out?
Great stuff where’s the follow up?
Which method did you use to achieve the patina at 6:08?
That's done with method 1 with higher temperature
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!
What about patina a lume pip, same method?
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!
Thanks for your information 👍
leave it to DWC - shitty watches for people without any knowledge, to not now how to age hands.
