And just like that, with a well played Will Ferrell gif, you are back on the list. Tread lightly bro, you are walking on thin ice!

I don't mean to stoke any more rivalries, but I was in the area again. I also forgot to post a picture from Alewife yesterday.

A muted black is rounding out the internal section of the case back. I haven’t applied the yellow and the red needs touching up.

Don’t look at these pictures if you don’t want to see the horror that is my process.

This is very cool. Now you have me taking my 2 Amphibia's off their straps and looking at casebacks... think I'll do this mod :D

I don’t have the images handy, but even just a little black on the back of the Amphibia case really makes it pop. With the amount of effort that is needed vs the impact you see, I am surprised that this isn’t a more popular thing to do. If you have seen anyone else doing this, let me know as I would love to connect with them.

Sealing is something that I have yet to do on this caseback, so I may need to tackle this prior to sending the watch on. Selfishly, I am looking forward to hearing the thoughts of others when they see my handy work. The bar is so low with this kind of thing, which is nice and frustrating at the same time. It is frustrating because techniques progress more slowly in a vacuum. This is why I value constructive feedback so highly.

Edit:
I found the picture from earlier in this thread.

I just found out about this board, so I'm new here, but that's a very cool mod. I'm assuming craft paint is what you use?

Found you guys by following the stars, while inquiring about traveling watches. This is an amazing thread! There are maybe 7 travelling watches now that i know of, but this one takes the cake!

I have 2 Amphibias (so far), that I love. Will attempt to attach them to this post. I am hooked on the Russian divers, have not played with a field watch yet. Both are modified with Crystal Times coin edge bezels and SKX inserts.

Which means I have 2 Amphibia bezels if anyone wants one. The 420 and 710 are interchangeable. 2 standard Vostok bracelets, too. <shudder> :shock:

I've just waded through 21 pages of this thread. Dub Rubb, I too am into VW's, always wanted a MK1 GTI, but alas, nobody would buy me one. So far I've bought my daughter a Jetta and now a Tiquan. But I moved onto BMW's... and Jeeps. But those VW's are a hell of a car!

I'm up for being on the list! I'm just south of Hunstville, AL, in Auburn. WDE! :D

Now I need another Amphibia, so I can use this dial I bought (courtesy of watching JOMW modding his...)

Great to have you here bud! Sorry I had to be so mysterious over on WUS, they dont take too kindly to people talking about this place. Anyways, the important part is That you made it!

I like your style in vehicles too. I used to belong to a car forum where the general consensus was that any "what should I buy" thread could be answered with either an E30 BMW, a 4.0 Jeep or a Miata.

Anyways, I am gonna break the normal rules here and add Southern Bamboo to the list. Unless there is any objection of course. While he may not have the time and post count here, he has been a contributing member of the BSH thread I follow. I am sure @Bbrou33 can vouch for this as well if their is any concern about our beloved Sdelka

Also, sweet Amphibias! The 710 case is one of my personal favorites, and my dad has the sane sailboat dial!

Welcome to the madness and grip your wallet tightly!
