Special thanks to:
DIAL: @rmcsherry for making this to spec. The raised numbers make a big difference IMO.
@Aikidosan for letting me bounce ideas off… I still owe him the video of me aging the case at some point.
The case: 40mm oyster style (looks like from Parnis) as it has the P on the crown.
The movement: Felsa 4100
3 years ago, this started off here…a crisply etched dial from Ross
I decided to go for a tropical finish….this took 4 days to vinegar fumes, removing green oxidation, some buffing, and a few dabs of brass black for finish off the process.
I think this was day 2
Day 4 ish
Numbers cut, cleaned up and applied
I thought about doing a double chapter ring but decided to just do a single
Hands are off a 1960s/70s diver
Brown leather strap to match
I looked at my email exchanges and it’s been 3 years since I decided to start this series of builds.

Of all your builds I love the dials with "attached" decorations
