After the second round of lume and paint:
And after sanding, belly down over a rigid surface:

Upon sanding and cleaning a first acrylic spraying:
Followed by a second round of lacquer:

Once dry, sealing with Mr. Hobby black primer:
And after dry, this is the result:

A. engraving work is as everything he does, perfect:

Standing out 1mm from the bezel surface so next time is sanding belly down over tamiya sanding sponges so circular movements and pressure give it a sexy curved surface:

Result:

Then, pressing the crystal, making the dial, luming, ageing hands, etc…

Result is my definition of what a homage should be.
Lots of time, investment, waiting, trial and error but in the end a sense of doing justice to all that was spent.

The only part where I feel I had failed roundly was in giving it wrist time.


Best,
