removed the SS triangle with lume dot, replaced it with yellow and bigger one. made the besel more crisp, as the surface near triangle was soapy or battered....

18K! Very nice touch. Is that laser engraved?
yes, but I was thinking to mill it... not in this case.. laser was ok... not sure if can finish tomorrow two dials, gray is ready without lume, dark brown almost, not sure if I will continue to play with color...

Wow this is fantastic- is his a river case? You should do a tutorial! Did you mill down surface, drill bezel through and weld pin at back to hold new marker in place?
yes it is the Rivers case. the bezel is not flat, a little conical, yes it is welded from back. I made new dial. one is gray now by accident, will try to make blacker another one tomorrow. also planning to make the caseback with display, will put Montblank engraved movement. will do some engraving on the caseback as well. now preparing oak and olive leafs ornament
This looks amazing, was looking into doing something similar. V interested to see how this works out. Any photos of build?
not ready yet, experimenting with dial colors, one instead of black cameout gray, another vintage dark brown together with white index... I wanted dark black with bright wite index ... I think need to use what came out, otherwise will take too long. cannot find case back ... put it somewhere

Clean build! The movement is cleaner than most UTs I’ve seen!

Thanks:)
But screw for lugs is very poor quality.. I'm not satisfied with 2 pices lugs and screw.. My next plan make new one pices lug and welding it.. In that case I will change mineral glass with plexi.. But I'm not sure is good plan, because is this case is very cheap, and I don't have experience with soldering..
