Some of you may recall my first attempt with customizing a Raffles dial

Before and after.

I had to replicate something similar the water damaged / tropical look is spectacular

So I ordered another Raffles dial and went to work..

Its not exact but it does have the same feel to it...I really like how it turned out.

The hands could be aged a bit more to match the dial but other than that I think its pretty cool.

Keep an eye on the M2M forum as I think I might be clearing this and a few others out of my collection to fund some future builds..

Comments and questions always welcomed.

Thanks for looking.
