My First Attempt At Dial Ageing

[Edge]

Here it is guys my first attempt at ageing a dial. I chose to have a nice grain to my markers as well as a bit of a glow, so I used appropriate materials for this. A nice luminecing paint as well as a little tea dye for colour.

The colour is very deep, even compared to my 1680, but I like it and I think it's inkeeping with the feel of the watch. It looks a bit off with the unaged case but one step at a time.

Here are some quick shots:

Next is to drill through the lugholes and fit genuine spring bars. Also to age the case and round off any edges.

I also need to know what crystal is meant for this model as I want to get a Tropic for it as the crystal on this is DREADFULL, it's cheap plastic crap, and needs to go.

Hope you like it and let me know what you all think!!!
