Fido, I see now what you mean. ;)

I can try to merge both images... however....this is very time consuming...

And the last picture you have posted is not a picture, it seems a drawing....

can anybody find a better picture?

Ok, hope this helps more

i made a comparison between the images we already had, I try to found another movement pic but got no luck, I think this is really good way to point the details that should be in the decal

what do you think?

The decal mod seems simple however it will miss one thing and the way light will play off those gears and screw edges. I think someone mentioned drilling holes in the top plate and glueing fake gears around the posts and screw heads to the main plate will give it a more gen like appearance. We won't get the auxiliary gears in there but at least it will have some sort of metal pieces that will shine through the dial and reflect light when someone moves the watch around.

So basically re brush the top plate with cotes de geneves and drill through the right spots and place screw heads there and a bored out gear around the centre post. More expensive and time consuming than the decal mod. I want to start learning how to repair and service movements i like tinkering i just need to get some bunk movements to try and overhaul and stuff to learn on.

Is there any way of getting a couple top plates from the factory?
