  1. Clip the feet and use dial dots to hold the dial in place. That's what I did:)
  2. Domi does indeed do lume. Extremely well as a matter of fact. However, be prepared for a long wait and sparse communication.
  3. The AR on these look great. Just wish the rest wasn't so shiny. NATO or leather is the way to go.
  4. With the original T39-like Cartel crystal the rehaut doesn't appear as wide. However, the curvature of the crystal does distort the dial. I do also prefer the Clark T19 profile, so I might try shaving a little off the height to see if that improves the situation.
  5. This has been bugging me. Is the rehaut width on the Cartel 5513 too wide, or is it the curvature of the T19 Clark crystal that makes it appear so? I tend to think it is, as a gen spec Singer dial sits nicely within the case, and the Clark T19 crystal fits snugly too. Would reducing the height of the Clark crystal help reduce this effect? Anyone done this mod?
  6. JMB's case set is pretty much plug-in-and-play. A great starter project.
  7. Thanks. Yuki will ship to Germany. For the price, it's the best value dial.
  8. Clark T21 arrived today. JMB is working on the bezel.
  9. Cheers. Contemplating going for a Clark T21 crystal with a new JMB bezel in the appropriate size for a more vintage look.
  10. Just finished. Probably the easiest build I have done: JMB case set ETA 2824-2 Yuki dial, lightly sprayed with matt varnish Raffles Time ETA hand set Phoenix NATO
  11. Thanks. Keep an eye open for cases in the members trading area. That's where I picked mine up from.
  12. Thanks. Drilled out to 1.3mm then with a 3mm drill bit, very lightly, by hand, chamfer the edges of the lug holes. Soften with a fine grade sandpaper (2000), then polish.
  13. It's a very fine line to get that gen-like fade. Less is more.
  14. Looks Great. Wear in good health!
  15. Congrats to the winners. Well deserved!
