Yet another JMB 1016

[Drummania]

 

Spec:

JMB case

Vietnam tropical gilt dial

JK horological gold hands relumed and vintagized

Swiss ETA 2840 21600bph no-date movement (2 crown positions instead of 3) from Swatch

 

I choose to get a polished version of JMB’s case. It turns out amazing and gives you the just-serviced look. Exactly what I wanted!

Nice job!
Can I suggest looking at the hr6538 hands? They minutes hand is slightly longer and perhaps closer to gen.

Still waiting for a sunny day...but even with bad garage lighting, true gilt is still mesmerizing.

Where did you source the dial from?

m2m, but the printing is the same as ruby's except for the tropical face color

OK so yours and Ruby's are printed gilt rather than negative-relief?

[Drummania]

It's negative-relief.

Cool... I've seen one of Whoopy's negative relief 1016s in person - the gilt looks brighter on yours!
