Gentlemen,
this is a 45mm build inspired by the 1349 with olive textured gradient dial, carbon steel heat blued California hands and patinated pvd case. Please note that its not a 1:1 rep but a homage. Actually this is a homage to "an absolute homage to the original Radiomir and it’s enduring legacy".

PM for details please.

Briefly about the build:

- High quality 45mm Radiomir rep case. Significantly improved water-resistance. It was previously dismantled, ceramic blasted and hand treated PVD coating to create a "controlled" aged look.
- 4mm thick high dome pot-shape crystal.
- Spring-loaded screw-in crown. Engraved. New improved O-rings for better water resistance.
- Modded and correctly engraved display CB.
- Vector traced and custom made aluminum 1349 Cali dial. Olive or "deep green" hue. Grainy texture + gradient. Cream lume and golden RR.
- Custom made 0.3mm brass backplate. 00 1349 stamped. Soldered dial feet for 6497 movement.
- Custom made carbon steel California hands which are shorter to fit a 36mm dial properly. Hands are mirror polished and heat blued. Cream lume.
- H3 CP/HW. CP flattened and mirror polished.
- Completely serviced (washed, oiled, re-assembled, regulated) a6497 movement. The wheels and ratchet screws are re-polished and heat blued.
- Movement holders made to firmly secure the movement inside the case.
- Titanium lug tubes.
- Custom 26x24mm vintage brown slightly distressed leather strap with off-white stitch. Size is 125mm x 80mm.
- 24mm screw-in (removable) buckle. Hand treated PVD coating.

Please note that this is not a regular factory watch but a custom handmade build with certain deviations from gen and its own peculiarities. Though all the parts and services were done professionally it may still have certain imperfections or specific features.
