[emoji632] Come a long way...

Happy to read you again. Superb gilt dial [emoji1303] Sent you a pm few days ago. I didn't know you were still sick. [emoji632]

Beautiful as always. [emoji632]

If only I could do it with a magic wand. I still need a lot of work to achieve nice dials [emoji632]

I really appreciate your comments guys. Thanks ! Hands are from JKHOROLOGICAL. Same as Clark Tudor hands for half the price and shipped in a week. [emoji632]

Sweet ! [emoji632]

Thank you ! I love this watch. [emoji632]

Maestro ! [emoji120] [emoji632]

[emoji632]

Haha ! [emoji485][emoji1305] [emoji632]

For my part I prefer the crown of the right bracelet on the first photo. But I'm not an expert... What are the source ? [emoji632]

I searched pics of PCG 5513 and read many pages. But it's not enough for me to start to shave. I think I shaved a little too much the inner guards, and I don't know if PCG could be well done. The 5513 meter first dial placed in this watch :

Very nice build ! I need to make a gilt dial like this for my 1675. [emoji632]

By hands with oilers [emoji632]

Yes PCG. But I don't know how to. Feared to ruin my case. [emoji632]

My projects progressing. Just completed my friend 6538, and a new dial for my 5513. [emoji632]

So much beauties in this thread ! Here is my humble 5513. Cartel case with drilled lugs holes and cg's worked a little. Clark's plexi. Cheap cousins insert. True gilt glossy dial. [emoji632]

Riyi is the same as raffle for half price. [emoji632]

Received a Phoenix NATO Admiralty Grey today. [emoji632]

Thanks guys! I don't have skills for aging parts. I still have many things to learn. Here is the original dial I take for reference to draw [emoji632]

After my lovely 5500 Explorer build, here is my 6610 project almost completed. I'm not satisfied with my lume work, so I will make another dial later. Hands will be replaced too with nicer Clark's Tudor. But I'm please to wear it for the moment. jmb V2 6610 case kit with bubble back. Vintaged Raffles hours and minutes hands. Lollipop second hand unknown. True gilt glossy dial. Non hacking ETA 2824-2. [emoji632]
