Koa Wood Dials

Post by bronzerai »

Got a bunch of Koa wood dials laser cut and this is the first installment
Not sure of the build (River 6154?), Watch was sent to me with request for Koa Wood Rolerai dial. They specifically requested destro, and no varnish on the dial but I think it would look better with a gloss finish and should make the lume pop more as the wood tends to get darker with varnish.
Holio Cornolio Lume with dullcote lacquer, Athaya laser cutting.

And here's a Koa 2533 on a custom Stepan build

They are roughly 2mm thick, easily sanded down if you need to fit into a thinner space.
