It really is stunning. I assume that pebbly effect comes from misting the dial with lacquer. I think I'll try that.
it was aged by the one and only Big Daz :)

If you take a look at the gen BC's they do give off the same exact texture - it comes form the radium dust that eats up the lacquer slowly over 50 years :drool:

That´s a beautiful Zenith, love the little lume dots on the arrow hour markers. Designswise the Omegas of that era are something totally different - or are they not:)

This is very interesting. Are those crowns right and left? How does it strap up?

It´s got an 85mm diameter and weighs 536 gram;) Protruding screws for dashboard mount at the back - but it will fit the cupholder in the Jeep!
Will take a fun-wristshot later anyway!
