irate03 Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) both pieces are gorgeous... congrats could you please share the specs with us? Boxes are hand aged. Cases are reshaped River 6154. Dials are painted, filled and lumed by me Hands on the MMLP are GEN Angelus hands, taken from an angelus travel clock. Sadly I didn't get the movement just the hands. I had to (carefully) remove the Radium completely before I broached the holes to fit the 6497, as a result I had to sand back to base steel and heat treat them to get the warm colour. movement in the MMLP is a vintage branded cortebert Swiss 6497 movement in the RP is a molnija 3601 Hands on the RP are Athaya wide hands, aged and lumed. straps are new leather aged and put together by me with an Elias aged brass buckle and blasted compass vintage buckle.

Well yes idealy I would love to have put a rol ex 618 in the RP and an Angelus in the MMLP but I don't have 10 grand just lying around sadly.
