Red Egi Is Better than Brown

[daevildog]

The brown dial for my most recent 47mm Egi build with Seagull A6497 just wasn't good enough...just looked too washed out. Here is the newly improved Egi with a vintage red/black dial:

Specifications:

- 1st Generation 47mm Egi case set with Screw-on CB (Wengsy had his watchsmith do the following - case milled to take a 6497, CG with revised lever, fitted with manual crown and movement ring, lugs drilled, case refinished)

- NW seethrough CB with flat plexi

- 5mm Solid Plexi (trimmed down from blank provided by Robsons)

- Vintage Bezel Pearl by me (superglue, lume, brown lacquer paint)

- NW MM 8GB Dial (painted with Tamiya Lacquer Paints and Powered Color Pencil Pigments/lumed by me)

- Okabum V1 Angelus handset (refinished and lumed by me)

- DSN vintage second hand (lumed by me)

- Lug bars (by me)

- Seagull ST36/A6497

Lovely job there mate.... great combo...

Always liked that plexi height in these cases..

I wonder how a more of a copper finish might look on the hands... with that dial.... just thinking aloud there mate... it looks great..

Thanks for sharing

Kirsty's strap in his thread on here would look nice on that....
