Getting closer, though the textures are still pretty far from what they should be.
Came back home today and look at what I found in my mailbox
Thank you @316lad brother
It has been long since I was so pleased with a gift.

Yes, sir.
I bought one for 3135 at startime.

Happy New year , everyone. All the best to you in 2025!
Fresh out the gates in 2025 I present to you the Rolex albino commando prototype
The lume is a lemon yellow which is not to my liking. however with some weathering paints I am able to dull down the brightness and shift the color to more of a dulled down toasted almond tone.
I then weathered the dial surface to give it some vintage appeal
The hands did not match the lume on the dial , however I did weather them a bit but plan on doing a bit more to get a closer match to the dial
I installed into a 36mm case , as the dial is 28.5mm
As you can see if you were inclined to fit it into a 34mm case a bit of machining the OD of the dial can be done as there is a lot of room on the outer edge to remove to fit a 34mm case and retain the details on the dial
Here it is....
Paired with my distressed , aged green noto looks cool It also looks pretty neat on the bonklip bracelet.
cool to see it with both a milsub and albino....its like their lovechild.
Thanks for looking. Go do some push ups.

No one able to help me out with this?
Some apparently Gen pictures to spike your interest.
Hands are more pale than me, dial background color looks freaking amazing though. But the text looks unusually fat/bold.
Lollipop seconds hand looks kinda small?

Rolex Explorer 6610 Oyster Perpetual Albino Off White Ivoiry Older Refinish | eBay
Dial is older refinish Years ago . ( inquiring). You can buy complete case set.

Just arrived in the mail...
the size is 28mm and need to be lumed.. (doesn't have any lumen ) the quality seems good for me...
maybe some forum master will be able to give a better judgement by looking at the details, but from what I can see it is a Mark 1 fat lume

This is a beauty, although at first glance it might look like the fat font, in my opinion is more of an early Mk1 print.
Here is the dial compared to a gen early MK1.
I am going to buy one and have it lumed as per early Mk1 spec.
found on ebay this morning 5504
28.3mm
eBay item number:256705788475
Not sure if this minute hand is actually 13mm though, seems a bit short. It should reach chapter ring. What do you think?
For anyone interested.Just arrived in the mail...

Google 1016 MK0.5 to find out more about this dial, is 99% correct. The 1% missing is the lume haha.
If anyone gets one, use the photo from my previous reply as a reference for the lume.
Early 1967 MK1 (MK0.5) dial.
