Gentlemen,
here's the so-called modern vintage fantasy build based on a popular 44mm size 1950 case set. It's not a rep since there's no gen model like this, it' s an absolutely custom and unique build. What has been done:

- Slightly reshaped midcase, softened edges. Significantly improved water-resistance.
- High dome No AR crystal installed.
- Heavily modded crownguard and lever. The lever operates smoothly. Custom made flush pin.
- Modded and engraved display CB.
- Custom made Sunburst Blue LPMM dial. Glossy finish (the gloss lacquer layer has certain imperfections but overall look is pretty smooth and accurate).
- Custom made 0.3mm brass backplate. White lume with turquoise afterglow. Soldered dial feet for 6497 movement.
- Custom made carbon steel Single Pencil hands. Mirror polished finish. White lume with turquoise afterglow.
- H3 CP/HW. Cannon pinion flattened and polished.
- Completely serviced (washed, oiled, re-assembled, regulated) a6497 movement. Second wheel's pivot has been correctly cut off and polished. The wheels and ratchet screws are re-polished and heat blued. The Train bridge wheels are radial brushed.
- Titanium lug tubes.
- Custom light-brown 24mm leather strap with an engraved screw-in buckle. Size is 125mm x 80mm.

If you are interested in this build don't hesitate to send a PM. Or it will be offered for sale in the Collectors Watch Corner section soon.

Can you make another one with this same dial? This one looks very beautiful.
