Thanks. Yeap, I re-lumed the Yuki dial. Gen-spec springbars from Watch Sales Outlet.

That pearl looks great! Does it fit gen inserts?

It will fit a gen service insert, here's one fitted to my DRSD.

I was just thinking how nice the dial was. Didn't know it was a yuki. How is the gilt on it? Assume it's printed, by I'd imagine if there's enough clear coat you probably couldn't tell. 

 

Very nice piece!

Thanks. Yes, the gilt is printed, it's fine on the wrist though. Here's a close up.

As nice as the dial is, the lume job really makes it. Well done!!

Dragged this out of storage and slapped in a (gasp) new battery. Haven't worn it in 10 years! No fan of Quartz but the watch has provenance as a military issued watch.

Nice, reminiscent of the Heuer 1550SG

I agree with you. I dig both of mine very much!! The Heuer is a slept-on piece. It was available for next to nothing up until last year. I think people are finally catching on to the stellar Flyback Valjoux 230 mov't & also the fact that the watch is thin but 43mm in diameter without the pushers/crown. It's a big contemporarily-sized watch but elegant and wearable due to its thinness!

Well now. That's a great piece! Congrats
