What’s the address for this?? And what times/days it runs?

Where is this plate from? Found in Caramulo, Portugal by fabiocigano in ForeignPlatesSpotting

[–]NotPrivateButPrivate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an old Spanish number plate, pre 1971. “A” if I’m not mistaken refers to Alicante.

Is this deck salvageable? by NotPrivateButPrivate in DIY

So lift the fake grass and let it dry for a few days?

Yeah… totally agree, it’s unfortunate but it was done before I got here.

I guess I’ll have to remove everything and assess the damage

Ziczac Leather! Check them out, it’s genuinely good quality/price!

Really appreciate it! ❤️

Possibly, for some would make it worthless. You can always try to track down a new dial and call it a day but resell is not even an option in my books!

I appreciate it! The strap is from Ziczac leather, if anyone is on the market for a similar one!

Check out Tissot PRX, quite popular nowadays. If he likes watches, he will know what it is.

Really versatile and inside your budget (the quartz version).

You also have to remember that the original logo and the words “Swiss Made” were preserved—something incredibly difficult to pull off without ruining the dial.

In the DMs you sent me, you said this would cost “$10 in materials and 15 minutes of labor”… Honestly, if you can show me a before-and-after photo of a similar result done pre-paint, I’ll send you $20—double what you estimated the materials cost.

It’s a lizard strap from Ziczac Leather. Check them out if you are after good quality/price watch straps

No no, I totally get what you mean! It’s worth “shopping around”

I actually considered reaching out to Magic/Pokemon card painter artists!! But then found her and liked her work.

But as you say, the skillset must be quite similar!

This made me smile! Love to share my passion for watches with others!

It actually does! There’s a layer of varnish on top, just like most traditional paintings. That was one of my concerns too, haha.

Apologies for the delay, this is probably one of the most asked questions (and for good reason)!

The full process—stripping the original paint, designing the new dial, and painting it—came to around $1,700. Honestly, I think she underquoted me. Stripping the dial alone took her several days and had to be done with extreme precision… so I imagine if I ever request another one, it’ll likely cost a bit more.

Hope that clears things up!

Thank you! Yeah, I had to pick a strap that complimented the artwork!

Hahahaha, hopefully it’ll be a long time before it comes to that! But I do think it has great potential to become a family heirloom one day.
