That's really special. Great story and great looking watch. Do you have any before pics?

I was thinking a rep dial. I figured the gen dial would be a tough find. That Space-Dweller looks real nice though.

Anyone ever been able to find a tropic brown 1016 dial?

I'm looking to start my first project. I'd like to build a 6238 with a brown tropic dial. I don't have major funds for this so probably just going to be a Josh watch that I modify. Likely get one with an ETA movement already in it. If theres a better option out there I'm open to it. I'd like some help with the following- Sourcing a good tropic brown dial (I see Yuki has a couple but I haven't been able to find much else. I've looked around here a lot but can't find much on sourcing such a dial.) Finding a replacement crown (The one on the pc watch dosen't look right, again I see Yuki has a crown and tube but for $250...) Tips on adding vintage (I've read about bleaching bezels and baking dials but don't know that I have a total grasp) I've tried to read up on a few things out here but I'm sure I missed some stuff so feel free to point me in a direction and I'll read up. Aslo as you can see I'm a super newbie so any general help or words of advice would be great as I'm kind of lost sometimes... :-). Thanks in advance for your time and for helping the new guy out!

I've been lurking a while and thought I'd say Hi. I'm interested in information regarding high quality reps and so far this place has been great for that. I'm a US guy in Iowa so any other Iowa people should shout out! Thanks to everyone for the great info I'm looking forward to engaging and learning more from everyone.
