Hello guys,
I'm just a noob when it comes to rep world and sorry if I duplicate an existing thread. I want to build a pretty much budget 5513, only with a dial upgrade, leaving the bracelet, crystal etc. as it is.
I'm thinking of
- ordering a JK Factory 5513
- polish and shape the lugs
- ordering a Raffles 5513 dial and age it
5513 definitely needs the dial upgrade but I will pretty much distress the case, bracelet and other parts so they will look the part I guess. So I need a 2813 movt compatible dial, do you think the below Raffles dial will look the part while fitting the 2813 movt?

I will age this dial somehow (baking, tea soaking or another method) so should I also order hands or the stock JK hands will look good with Raffles dial when they are both aged?
Many thanks!
