If I don't behave she becomes wife.mil...

At least you've learned Rule #1 of marriage, J, the wife is always right!

[jmb]

Got that right, M, almost 40 years! 

 

But, she actually likes the prototype so I slapped a bracelet on it this evening...

Stunning!  Dirty up the hands and it's the spitting image of the OP photo!

Watch or dial?

[blue.]

Amazing, J!

As Lhooq mentions, try to raise a bit the contrast of the hands and dial combo by putting some dirt on them

[jmb]

Blue - you talking about the hands themselves or the lume?  I've made some more dials and this is about the best I can do with the technology available to me...

 

 

[blue.]

Already very good, J!

I referred to the lume of the hands. But nevermind ...

 IM EXCITED!  from a simple question to fruition in about a week!...im waiting for my case set and dial to arrive ..it was so incredibly cool of j to do this, im so very appreciative ... question:.ive never used a transfer dial before and im curious if i can use gouache or water colors to age up the dial or will that mess up the transfer? ....simply amazing this place is ......kindest regards,

G, you should have it tomorrow, I reckon, and have your pics up tomorrow evening!  Before doing any distressing you might want to spray another coat or two of clear over the top in case you have to scuff off a boo-boo.  I used Testors Dull Coat on this and it smells like a lacquer based formula.  I usually use Krylon Crystal Clear Flat but I'm out...
