You're welcome François [emoji4]
So it seems you've leaved your politic career to get involved in reps ?
Wise decision IMHO.
You must know that here the term "rep" doesn't mean "republican" but "replica", don't you [emoji39]
Bonne journée et bon courage pour tes premiers Gilt dials puisque tu sembles vouloir t'y essayer.

Par contre c'est peut-être une bonne idée
C'est peut-être une bonne idée pour "dorer" un jeu d'aiguilles ... à 5€ la bombe dorée le risque n'est pas grand
It could be a good idea to get a DIY "gold" hansdet ... 5$ for a "gold" hairspray so money risk is low

Ah ah !!! Very good
I am worried that politics is over for me, my expensive suits and watches accepted as gifts have ruined my credibility, i'm lost my place as frontrunner in opinion polls after these revelations. Now, I have no other choice to go in rep world
In France 'We don't have oil, but we have ideas" Bart and also you prove that again !

I know [emoji3]Gold plating work on hands too
I was just considering that option if a polished copper dial is used.
BTW ...
How much do you pay to get a dial gold platted ?
Or is it a DIY ?

You should have explained that your watches were Reps and that you bought your suits on AliE or TaoBao.
I'm quite certain that you could have been short-listed for the "Ministère de l'Europe et des Affaires Etrangères" ... as far as I know Emmanuel and Philippe are really open minded :hehehe:

What I thought ... you're a DIY man (and you do WELL indeed).
I really prefer the "copper" look which looks more vintage (I've done my homeworks and read the Mondani book) though they dont catch the light as well as the gold plated one (I should polish more and better).
But who knows ... I should try someday.
So as you have already wet your feets, would you share a link or at least give an advice for the kit ?
Gold plating work on hands too
Do you remove the "chrome"plate first or have you been able to gold plate straight onto the hands?

I do not remember it at all. I had done this quickly by building my 6538. But it should work straight onto the hands.
Does the kit allow you to adjust the tone of the gold so you can achieve a range of tones from yellow through to rose gold?

I’m about half way through this thread, and I? also use Photoshop professionally. I’m curious about the decision to redraw vs using blend modes and levels adjustments on a high resolution photo of the desired dial... love this commitment though Bart, I? also sent you a PM re your 6610 case. Cheers!

A 5513 tropical ?
Here is mine
Just for fun because I don't want to do my 5513 again

How does the decal paper stand up to printing different opacity of black? Another technique might be applying a radial gradient from 95-100% opacity, allowing some of the brass to peek through the black, to show as faded / brown.
