Dial is Tritium, hands from my box of homeless goodies… the Lume, aged to match the dial.

The original watch was a promotional watch made for a fishing reel company.

Is AR coating inside or outside glass?

My plan is first welding lugs and maybe change mineral with love dome plexiglass.. But I can try remove AR.. Do you have photo without AR? Thanks:)

Inside. But if you have the domed plexi, go for it. Sternkreuz HW 392.

Thanks!! I must say I was fortunate to have a great dial to start with. Just lucky hunting on eBay. The dial deserved a home.

Just crimp second hand hole a little bit... test before installing dial.

Seconds from 3 handset from athaya.. angelus or pencil handsets.
