Sweet dial C!

Probably shouldn't have been so quick to get rid of it!

Which hands are those?

Well done. That new Jacob caseback tops it off quite nicely.

Thanks guys, she's coming along...

Thanks Grim,

The hands are DSN not sure version. I think they are a bit brown/tan. I've got holio's white lume and May give that a try.

I actually relumed a set of DSN hands with holio lume. It's nice lume. I found that its easiest to totally strip the hands with paint thinner, repaint them with matte black, then Relume them. Mix the lume really well first. Make sure there are no lumps. Totally do this!!! Or just buy the Helena Rou super lume Pre-V hands. Either way I agree that the DSN hands look too tan.

One thing I just noticed, you could use an H1 CP set. The Hands are sitting WAY above the face. Gen 202/a used an H1 according to the reading I've done on RWG. I've got an H1 if you want to trade yours for mine, PM me.

I'll give the Lume a try, i have 2 or 3 sets to practice on.   Grim, will send a PM on the CP, ASAP HAHAHA

Nice build - love the dial re-lume and the glossy finish.
