Okay I've done my part... let's go!

Just finished my 5500 (1965, gen) with Explorer dial. Got the dial from Yukiwatch in white lume and used Iodine to give the markers and hands some color after which I baked the dial. Finished it with a light matte varnish spray. Wasted one dial under the grill (paint started pealing off), part of the learning curve I guess. Far from perfect but will do for now. Cheers

Same as yesterday.

It's a go as far as I know , I guess just need to get area set up which they can do. (maybe busy or vacation time.)

The S.H.I.T. and BR.O.K.E theorems are preceded in familiarity only by John Gabriel's Greater Internet Dickwad Theory. This is what keeps our intrepid band of Moderators on their toes.

Quality over quantity? That's the Simplified Horological Internet Theorem (S.H.I.T.) Adding in the Beer Coefficient "ß" we can rewrite this more accurately as... QL(1/ß) ÷ QN(1/ß) which is widely known as the BeeR Overload Kinetic Expenditure (B.R.O.K.E.) theorem. Note the reciprocals of the Beer Coefficients ... there's where we run into trouble. Suck down a few beers and your appreciation for Quality (QL) goes out the window, while at the same time your desire for Quantity (QN) approaches infinity. Then the next day when your Beer Coefficient has (hopefully) returned to zero, your appreciation for Quality likewise returns.

Old thread resurrection, the latest fake ETA movements have burnt laser type stamping. Clone ETA's being advertised as Swiss

Great looking watch and looking good on the leather strap! Your dial indexes have more texture to them (look more raised) which I like a lot. Gets closer to the all original Tudor 7928 which I added to my collection last year. Cheers

Looks good! Here is my gen 5500 with Yuki dial nad eBay hands:
