I decided I wanted to do something different to make a change from a vintage Rolex or Tudor so I contacted Davidson and got this aqualung.

In terms of accuracy the case has its limitations but a nice watch,

I re-lumed and aged the dial, aged the case and took some of the shine off of the bakelite insert.

If only Davidson could get a thinner case the caseback and dial/insert are quite good

I wonder if we could thin the bezel and caseback? The actual mid case isn’t bad.

You can't thin the bezel from the bottom ,you would loose the means of attaching the bezel to the case and the click, the best you can do is engine turn it a little bit to give it a bit of a step

You say that and I agree. But Jon may have another approach as our resident metalsmith lol
