That was made by Pratt in Singapore, I will post the description from 2015
6154 Rolerai HCL Vintage 70% 3602 RLX [Babylon] PRATT
It looks like it has been through “decades or centuries “of weather/climate change.
70% on Hydrochloric acid bath over 6 hours.
Watch case has been hammered, scratched, stepped on with heels, nails whatever.
It’s brought over on flames as high as 400 degrees, giving some parts of it to look brass and rusted.
The crystal. It’s a clear bubbled Cabochon. Creates an effective dome magnifying effect on dial.
The bezel is specially treated with iron powder, melted over clear steel epoxy.
Dial is lightly painted but highly patina over LOS, and iron powder.
Angelus hands are treated with LOS, and rusted overtime on salt, vinegar mixture.
I have to complete this watch on a highly decorated engraved serviced ROLEX Molnija 3602 movement.
Tons of detailing on this one. Watch is named Babylon. Sounds like a baby to me but it also means the gate of gods.
One of the most iconic watch I have done, second to the depth gauges dial.
Specifications :
Case: 47mm Silix case set Big crown Rolex
Plexi : Cabochon high dome bubbled
Dial : Rolerai custom dial aged LOS patina
Lume : Aged N15 on hands/dial
Back case : OPB display
Movement : Molnija 3602 Rolex engraved serviced movement
Dave @Unreformed66 serviced it last year and it reports +4 sd and 312 amp on the time graph.
I was thinking of either selling it or changing the dial as its charm has worn off me.
