That dial is exquisite bro. Too often you see rep pave dials with gaps or poor gem placements, etc. This one is the bomb, congrats!
Thank you mate, I'm extremely happy with how it has turned out!

I'm pleasantly surprised with the setting on this one, typically you only get a good setting with the very expensive aftermarket dials, the dial on this only cost me 1500CNY!!!

Some more detailed pics of the latest build to arrive, the 116509 pave dial with sapphire numeral hour markers the watch consists of:

1. A BTF 116509 base watch
2. A custom pave dial (nor sure of moissanite or CZ, I never asked)
3. Full WG plating and protection

Gen for reference:

A easy and (relatively) cheap build thay has turned out a lot better than I expected. The dial looks pretty decent as rep pave dials go, usually they're pretty ass. Whilst this watch isn't gonna fool anyone, it's a nice fun piece that's, dare I say it, a little more under the radar than some kf my other off catalogue builds.

Now to the pics:

Lovely collection mate! I had planned on doing the SACO build in your first pic but abandoned the project when my oysteflex black dial SACO was finished, this is making me want to build ot again!

Out of interest, what dial is on your 116576TBR (platona)? is it RB?
