Thank you very much for your fast reply @jackflash. Already spoke with Crown Art Custom ; did not realise he was also know as DLF ! Nice work on your second hand !

Hello guys, I wanted to share my project story and ask you some questions. — I started it from a genuine late 5513 (white gold index) with a poor dial. With a detailed PNG I found on internet I spent a lot of hours drawing a vector picture of the 5517 dial and ordered a negative in Switzerland. Then I have it printed one the dial. That was the most expensive part but the good point is having the negative, I can make dial again. Insert and hands are aftermarket (found on eBay). Pearl is coming from the helenarou insert. I sent everything at another Swiss company to have BGW9 lume painted (blue-ish with a good intensity) and finally, my watchmaker assembled everything, brushed all the shiny part of the case and added fixed lugs. These last days I felt the will to improve it. — @jackflash you said your hands are coming from Yuki but your second hand is closer to the original 5517 second hand with a shorter part after the arrow and a shorter tail than the SM300. Are you sure you got it from Yuki ? Also, you mentioned DLF for your insert ; who/what is it ? Your insert looks great ! I had some will to take one at ruby but found yours (DLF) better ! Thank you !
