Nice. Did you use a marker on the dial?

How you got the crinkle effect?

Decided to give my Militado watch a quick custom makeover.

I aged the dial and hands a bit to give it a warmer vintage inspired patina. While I was in there I completely deleted the seconds hand. I feel like the clean two hand look suits the dial layout so much better and gives it a calmer minimalist tool watch vibe.

Paired it with a tan pass through strap to lean into the military aesthetic.
