For some odd reason ive been making more rings these past few weeks then usual but this is the last one for a while...... I hope

Cleaned the movement timed it 3 positions, lumened and replaced the dial (looming is really not my forte) blued the hands and screws, so like my co-workers say "should be good"
This is an esdee case made for a SF240 i won on the old HF many moons ago because im using a ETA a ring had to be fabricated so it fits, this is temporary of course as i need to finish the 240. Love those binbin hands
Let me know what you think good or bad would you do anything more/else/different ?

Great build! The lume looks good, vintage .
Blue color is perfect.

Lume is perfect mate.. Just that looks like not a matt binder maybe just photo reflection. Also blue is perfect, darker blue suit vintage just need abit rust

Thank you your opinion means allot, it was a mat binder i made the mix as liquid as I thought i would need but in retrospect i would have needed it to be more liquid for it to flow better ill try it on the next one.

Splendid work, looks perfect!

Nothing needs changing IMO, great work! And also that is one impressive hand setting tools you have!

Everything is good!

What I would have done to improve the dial would be applying an off white or beige base layer of acrylic paint first so lume would always look brighter under all sources of light.

In fact, you could do that now without having to remove the currently applied lume since there is still room for that. You could even mix the acrylic paint with lume so you don't cover all the pigments completely. And finish with another layer of just lume.

Thanks straps68 i made that setting tool ages ago ive since made a few for local watch makers and improved on this one in my opinion this one is too big it takes up allot of real-estate on a bench
