From pulsar to omega homage

So I have been reading a internet site about a guy who has turned a pulsar nx01 into a omega x33 homage , after reading the article I thought why not I will give it a go and after a length search I have just bought 2 wàtches a pulsar nx01 and a storm watch in a mixed lot ,

So all going well the pulsar should be salvageable and I will update the forum on my step by step mod as it takes place , the only thing that will let me down is if the pulsar is faulty as I have taken a punt on it , I hope to give it a good go and do a few thing different like not putting omega on the dial as the picture show , but any how hear is a before and after picture of what I am hopefully going to achieve

That is quite an unusual mod I have never seen anything like it before .
I have been tempted by those Pulsar in the past they are a good looking watch.
I look forward to reading how you get on with the mod .... Talking of mods though I thought you was finished with with all this tinkering .... I knew temptation would call you back

Yep tinkering has got the better of me JOHN lol

scary thing is...there are people out there that would fall for that
i look forward to seeing how this turns out

How do you go about changing it from a negative to positive display ?

It's a secret but I will show you how when I do it their is a negative film over it that will need removing

Have you finished this mod yet it's been a week

Lol it turned up yesterday so this is it before I take it it has one pusher that's not working and everything else seems fine

hopefully just a stuck connection that you should be able to free . good luck with the mod

yep , you can see it stuck in, it needs a strip down, clean and a blob of silicon grease

I'm glad you said that becouse I was thinking along those lines cheers Domecurb

In all honisty if it wasn't a neg display I would not mod it as its not a bad watch and hard to come by

My gym watch (very dusty from lack of wear  ) is a neg display and sometimes rather difficult to read the time

Yep they are a little hard to read but getting rid of the negative filter will make it into a possitive display again

I wonder if the negative filter can be removed from my one ?

Whats to lose if all else fails you will need to buy a new gym watch win win situation

Should probably get my ar$e back to the gym first lol

i am guessing its a Polaroid screen over the display ?

i think you need to take more than your AR$E............

So after a few attempt I have cut a new polarized filter and turned it to give a positive display finish , the polarized filter was purchased from eBay and is for a iPhone screen for £1.99 and I've only used a small bit , I havnt placed the second hand yet as I need it to be red at the end also the bezel needs some red at the 12 marker , but still a working process so hear it is mid mod

How are you going to do the red in the bezel ? When I painted my monster insert I used nail varnish and then when it had set I wiped over the top with nail varnish remover on a cloth and it removed the varnish on the insert but left it in place in the markers.

Now that's a good idea I hadn't thought of that

thats looking realy good, can you remove the Pulsar name?

Yep I'm going to try and give it a go

How are you getting on with this mod Andy ??

I've only the red insert to do and sort the crown out , I havnt really had much time on it but hopefully I will get it done very very soon
