Wanted to build a early 1016 with some spares in my parts bin
JMB case set
2824 clone
Raffles dial and hands
Not 1:1 accurate and isn’t impressive out of the box but it has a chapter ring and Swiss only markings.
I wanted to experiment with some aging techniques and to see if I was able to make it look GILT and somewhat resemble a water damaged glossy dial
When my lume kit arrives I may add an exclamation point at 6
Using a combination of air brush paints and a semi gloss clear coat finish. I aged the hand lume to match
I achieved some decent results that I am happy with.
Assembly and here we have it
Thanks for looking
