My fantasy Ginault based BSH 14060LVG build... d60d0331bb3a3e82b23c386ac40550a6.jpg

You took a Ginault and replaced the dial thereby removing the semi mythical desert sand collected from under the Blackpool Big Dipper? You brave and extraordinary man you. Only the power of the Brotherhood of SH protects you from the curse of the ‘Mercian Mummy

 

Drill the lugs, Drill the lugs! You know you want to.

Oh Brother... phase 2, phase 2... i need some drilled lugs

 

I may escape the curse due to the Ginault not having the mythical gold sand... just plain old supermagicalmysteriousluminova in BGW9 !!

Hello Bart
Why the dial looks greenish?
I had a Vietnamese 6542 dial also look like dark green too.

Wear in good health
The grey NATO on 6542 looks good. And the case is perfectly reshape. The insert itself is gem too. That colour is insane

Hi Calvin
It’s probably the combination of gold and black ink on transparent decals when sunlight hit at some angle.
Concerning VN dials it’s probably the combination of black ink and transparent yellow varnish layer in same condition of light.
