What I really dislike about it is that it’s not in my possession. Nicely done!

Very nice and really cool that it’s original tritium. Out of curiosity have you ever worked with a radium dial?

Another stellar project tripdog as ever you attention to detail is spot on. The dial, hands & insert compliment each other perfectly & the execution of the case provides the solid foundation.

Thanks for documenting & sharing with us.

No, but there's no reason for it to be any different than a tritium dial - but a Rolex radium dial is going to be very expensive, what ever the model.

And you also may start growing horns out of your head from touching a radium dial :)

Amazing build trip, the 16800 is my favorite. Did you use a ST bezel ? if so did you have to alter your insert?

Thank you

That looks expensive........

Maybe you should offer to help with some HD photographs. You could jet to Europe with your equipment for a week long photo shoot.

tripdog Beautiful build. The owner will be pleased.

Yes, it's an ST bezel ring, gen inserts fit OK in this one, but aftermarket parts don't have the same QC tolerances as gen, so some will be better than others.
