That is so nice of you to offer, thank YOU! I'll send you a PM later with some details.

[emoji1] do not get excited too fast. I have many things to do before. You'll have to be patient.

I think I have finished the 6538 and 5513 photoshop dials. After many hours of retouch I decided to print on decals. And the result is very good.

Now I let it dry naturally then I will spray gloss varnish to protect ink.

Can't wait to see it pasted on dials.

Awesome! I wonder if the dial size is the same on the 1675 and the GMT II? Cause I'm thinking about putting that dial decal in my GMT II Ceramic Pepsi...can you do a gilt dial 1675? Man I really appreciate you thinking of me.

Yes I will do a dial for my Rolex Addict 1675. Don't know the size for the moment.
When finished I'll post pics. If it nice enough I could do one for you. Be patient, I'm need to finish 6538 and 5513 before. Now you know I don't forget you. I do not have a habit of throwing empty words [emoji6]

Next step, prepare hands and lume.
I need advices for hands. Silver or gold ? I assume these 5513 gilt dials were accompanied by silver hands but I'm not an expert.
