Invicta Ocean Ghost, Phantom edition

Hey everyone, thought I'd share a little project on an Ocean Ghost I thought needed something different.

I received this stunning, classic, Ocean Ghost and thought it needed a look more in line with its name. The triple silver execution seemed like a perfect candidate to turn this into something I've always wanted, a bead blasted diver.

A friend suggested I reach out to Ron (AKA Barnbuilder), and a few PMs later my watch was off to the bead blasting barn.

Once received, I gave Ron a call and discussed what would be blasted to the netherworld, and not. We decided to keep the bezel as-is, because it already had a blasted looking base and the raised, chrome numbers would give it a nice contrast.

A few days later, the OG returned and I was absolutely amazed with the new look and amazing work Ron did. Ron, thanks again and it was a pleasure meeting you and chatting about watches and plans for world domination lol

I present you the Ocean Ghost, Phantom

Thanks Jorge! It was great talking with you and glad you like the results, it really changes the whole look to the watch. I hope the OG get's plenty of wrist time. Enjoy it!
