Building another custom Hamilton pilot watch

[05tbowner]

I've started another custom Hamilton build. Not sure if everyone saw my last one:

So I'm building this most likely for resale, so I wanted your opinions! This is the dial I will be using:

I will be using a Swiss movement most likely, but might use an A6498, depending on the customers request. I will also be using this case:

But not sure if I should get the brushed case or the polished on. On my last build, I used a similar case, in 47mm, with a polished bezel and case back, and brushed mid case.

Next thing I wanted your opinion on using is which hand set. I'm tossing these around, but if you guys have suggestions, by all means, let me know!:

or

Let me know what you guys think! I love building these, but finding the dials is the hard part most of the time.

I hate links that won't open in Tapatalk. :-(
I'll have a look-see tomorrow and make all the tough decisions for you. ;-)

Looks fantastic. Did you ever build one using an actual Hamilton movement? Something like the 917 pocket watch movement...
