Finally I got this. 8 day trench watch with sub second, the ultimate Hebdomas for me.

It’s in very sad condition. I ended paying a lot more on parts than the watch itself, but it’s running now.

Awesome! Mine are on the way, too. The stamps are probably worth some cash :-)

These (dial blanks) are incomming: 3 mosaic damascus + 1 mammoth mollar. At the moment no clear plans for them, but I'll think of something eventually :)Image

Well this was in the mail until this morning....

This has taken my breath away.

37mm true gilt Error Proof (California) dial from the master @Fizzzz

Just look at the quality of the gilt minute track.

Now all I need is a steady hand and some new lume from moomin_steph94(great eBay seller).

Thank you @Fizzzz.Image

That is an awesome dial and the gilt is a huge differentiator.
I suggest that you fill the numerals with diluted acrylic zinc white and clean excess with a wet brush if necessary.
And once dry you can lume over the white.
This will assure that it will glow and the lume color will be the substance color and not a dull green.
Steph has a suuuper radium mix which is more creamish-biscuit like; go for it!

From a friend for my official retirement and my birthday in November 2022, a bitter from Denmark, one liter.
