got this from andrew.put it on a vintage cromwell rivet band..aged dial hands ..brassed the bezel..old crystal..spent the afternoon ageing it..i know its nowhere near perfect but fun nonetheless.....kin tama
here are my two latest explorer builds ...im still contemplating a direction on the white 1016 that jmb has graciously provided......kindest regards kt

gen 5500 case unpolished warts and all
gen crystal used
gen crown
yuki dial aged and attached with dial dots
2824 clone
raffles movement holder dremeled to fit
hands of unknown lineage (parts drawer) kind regards,

IM EXCITED! from a simple question to fruition in about a week!...im waiting for my case set and dial to arrive ..it was so incredibly cool of j to do this, im so very appreciative ... question:.ive never used a transfer dial before and im curious if i can use gouache or water colors to age up the dial or will that mess up the transfer? ....simply amazing this place is ......kindest regards,
