The fact that the "RWI" is lumed is hilarious. In regards to the sizing of the dial, I've fixed the oversized nature of it in V2, and I'm happy to send you one free of charge if you should choose. Feel free to reach out via PM.
Thank you for the offer. Yeah I just had to have that RWI logo lumed, it just seemed like the right thing to do (in my head)The fact that the "RWI" is lumed is hilarious.

I guess I can stick this one in here as well since it's technically a 1016 case with a sapphire crystal 
Seagull ST 2130 with date position removed, everything else is stock Raffles. Need to get a smaller crown and work on the lugs a bit but loving the vibe of this one.

Ooozes class indeed. Would this be a "fantasy" build or did they have a lighter build dial assembly in this case?I guess I can stick this one in here as well since it's technically a 1016 case with a sapphire crystal

I got overbid yesterday on the very last second mark on an eBay auction of a 6251h folding mechanism/clasp/scale, and am now looking for precisely that. I don't care if it's aftermarket or genuine. Does anyone know where one may purchase a 6251h clasp mechanism?

It's a fantasy build. The Air-King was only 34mm but I went with 36mm since I'm a gangster. The dial is hard to capture the color of, it changes with the light. Here's a comparison to a gen.
Absolutely more power to you, looks superbIt's a fantasy build. The Air-King was only 34mm but I went with 36mm since I'm a gangster. The dial is hard to capture the color of, it changes with the light. Here's a comparison to a gen.
Is that the Raffles dial?It's a fantasy build. The Air-King was only 34mm but I went with 36mm since I'm a gangster. The dial is hard to capture the color of, it changes with the light. Here's a comparison to a gen.
Yes. Raffles dial, raffles hands, 1016 sapphire case, Miuksi Store ST2130.
If you are ok to try it, you can replicate the cream tint by putting the dial in a tupperware with a smashed boiled eggIt didn't post my pic it seems, here it is
That is an option but I think both the dial and the case is too far from gen spec to try to get the details perfect. I like the color as it is and I'm probably just going to gift it away to a family member after some casework.
Nobody out in the general population has any idea whatsoever what a vintage Air-King is supposed to look like when it comes to case size and definitely not when it comes to dial tint or indices.
In the eternal words of Mark "The Zucc" Zuckerberg: Done is better than perfect because perfect is never done.
