How about a brass/copper coloured spray paint after filling the holes?

How about filing them with marine weld epoxy, sanding then painting the dial black before you apply the decal?

Thanks. Probably a v1 handset, I picked them up in a m2m sale a while back. I used a dash watercolour paint in the lume mix (watercolour, acrylic binder, lume) to get the creamy colour. Although there's hardly any glow to the actual lume itself in keeping with a vintage model.

Thanks

I have a Cartel assembly that may do the job. PM sent.

Updated the dial and handset on this build with a Yuki meters first dial and a TC handset, giving them both a subtle creamy lume. Think I'm done messing with this one now

1.2mm will do the job.

Another amazing watch hidden away surfaces. This 5517 came up on the Antiques Roadshow a while back, it was valued on the show at £40k and later sold at Bonhams for £120k. The original second hand was swapped at some stage, which wasn't mentioned in the appraisal (starts at 43.30): https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/22790/lot/129/

Bart amazing work as always!

The build has a sour side. The dial that was sold to me as a custom dial, is identical to the Helenrou dial. I believe the member I bought it from next door was duped, and subsequently I was unintentionally duped too.

Great job! Btw. I've also managed to split more CWP T19 crystals than I care to remember!

Sure, here you go: ...compared to the old Cartel case (above) ...compared to the Cartel 1665(above)

It's a beautiful place. I'll be heading back soon
