This was the first time ever, that I try to polish. Got Cary way. I know this is supposed to be a watch with decades, but it was stronger than me.
@aris.dayton I think I can see the edge of the solar system now

Really don’t know!!! I got an Elias nickel plated knife buckle that can shine with the case. Still don’t know but I’m open to ideas.
Lugs welded.
Thanks to [mention]Emilio [/mention] for the advise, just painted the dial

Don’t listen to Tan.

With that quality polish and those soldered joints,go straight for NOS style; definitely!

Not at bad idea.
Just applied the resin. At my 4th attempt it didn’t went bad.
Don’t know if I could pull this again, but after the mess I did with the previous runs, I had to clean the dial.

It's normal to have such problems on your first tries. And after many dials, you get them too.

the last time I resin a dial, I gave the resin more time before I start. that made it more easier.
