Wow ! Dial source ?

HR 6538 with Clarks Tudor hands and OnlinestoreHK (Tigerconcept) white lollipop second hand.

Thank you ! Soon. I think I'll do the 6538 this weekend. Meanwhile, 5513 dial with hands in case. the watch that inspired me : And the dial I tried to reproduce :

@hologramet Thanks friend ! I could make the same for you soon, when finished my watch.

@hologramet Lume applied. @Nightwatch Is this lume work nice enough ?

Wow ! Congratulations.

Ok as I am still novice, I need opinions.

@hologramet About lume, do you think the lume texture and color on my 6538 are good ?

Don't worry, I do not forget to prepare a dial for you my friend [emoji6]

For those who love pics... 5513 dial macro Another one with light mat varnish spray 5513 dial + hands quick test

Stunning ! I love Bart 5513. I'm searching without success a high resolution dial picture to reproduce it on decals. If one day you disassemble it, could you take a good picture for me ?

I prefer gold hands too. And I don't have silver second in stock. I use lume powder, acrylic varnish, a bit of acrylic white paint, and a pinch of Terre de Sienne. All possibilities permitted with decals. I tried too reproduce tropical dial, but the print is not sharp enough for text and coronet.

Thanks ! After let it dry few hours... Test on my Cartel 5512/13 case Next step, prepare hands and lume. I need advices for hands. Silver or gold ? I assume these 5513 gilt dials were accompanied by silver hands but I'm not an expert.

Morning !

Congratulations ! Your 1675 is beautiful. I need a gilt dial on mine too.

Thanks ! I'm very satisfied with My Photoshop work and the decal print results. The details are sharp enough. Sprayed gloss varnish this morning. I hope I could paste it on nice brassed dials tomorrow. More pics soon...

The white is the paper support of the decals. The decal is transparent.

I think I have finished the 6538 and 5513 photoshop dials. After many hours of retouch I decided to print on decals. And the result is very good. Now I let it dry naturally then I will spray gloss varnish to protect ink. Can't wait to see it pasted on dials. Next I will draw a 1675 dial.

Don't have much time to improve printed decals these days. But I worked on last hologramet's photoshop file. I have also drawn a 26mm 5513 gilt dial. It's almost ready, I'm waiting for blank dials from generous donators.@hologramet Waiting, some pics for followers. Under bedroom lamp And today was a sunny day in Britanny More improvements soon. Thanks for reading.

@dlf Yes ! The ring is sanded enough to fit Clark 25-19. Thanks.

Sublime !

@rolojack Thanks you reassure me. I needed to file it for about 0.40mm.

Finally sanded the retaining ring for about 0,40mm.@Dlf Thanks!
