Need Help With a 1003 to 5500 Explorer Conversion

Recommended Posts

I've been doing a deeeeep dive and looked at all the amazing printed dial work that Bart Cordell, Breitling, etc. have been doing over the years. Now all I can think about is turning my 1963 1003 w/1560 movement (Bought here from JoJo35 a decade ago)  into a gilt gloss underline 5500 Explorer. The Yuki , MQ, etc. dials are nice, but I was wondering if anyone has advanced the ball on printed gilt gloss dials and, if so, did they want to take my watch on as a project. I'm going to need a vintagized dial, vintagized gilt hands (lumed to match, of course) and bezel, since the one on my 1003 is engine-turned. I'll just keep my original dial/hands/bezel and put them back on if I ever decide to sell. If anyone is interested in taking this on, please PM me. Thanks!
