Cartel base with a A2836
Richview818 dial
Atheya crown and tube
2mm spring bars

Thinned the case
Drilled bigger lug holes and chamfered them.
Reshaped the lugs so the lug holes are slightly further from the edges and chamfered the edges. Lugs got a bit thinner than I wanted but oh well.
Shaved down the plexi a bit to keep the magnification slightly lower will prob end up going gen on the plexi
Gen spec spring bars
Lumed the hands to match the dial (will prob do it again. Need more pigment)
Shaved the dial to fit the cartel case (this hurt my feelings. Lol)
Atheya Pearl with matching lume (they come empty so you have to add your own lume. I didn’t know this when I ordered. Glad I had some laying around).
Slightly faded and browned the insert

I think that’s it for now. Lol.

Beautiful datewheel. Is that a MBW?
I’m in the middle of making one very similar. Just need to print a few and test fit them.

Wow!

What kind of dial is that?

My guess is ruby (her dials have serifs like that). The dial looks like it was shaved a bit due to the little marker under the t>25 text and I don’t think he would shave a gen dial.
