Finally received my much anticipated OCC dial!

Is this gilt or the print looks very lightly coloured/printed..?

Too many lines on this dial? I think not! [emoji57]

This is a great start brother. This build is a big pain in the ass haha I know because I've tried to build 2 and right now still waiting for the movement on one of them

To get it to this point wasn't that much of a pain in the ass tbh. I installed the 116 today, still waiting for the small GMT hand. With the small hand it is nice enough for me to wear it. The long tube seconds hand is a nice update, I will do that over time, I think. But I guess we are on two different levels here. I am going for the looks and you try to recreate a beast from the past with gen movement and so on. What Dial will you use on yours?

At the end of the day they are all toy watches. That is a really nice toy. Where did you get the insert?
Nice toy :D I got the insert of ebay, they come up from time to time from different sellers, but I didn't spot one for the last few weeks... You should go ahead and build one as well :)

Thanks friend,
I had to do it on this one, 1675 is a grail piece for me so I have to do it right, or at least what I think it should be in my eyes.
