I know it's not perfect but I received my first big crown today and have fallen in love already!

I tried to bleach the Yuki insert yesterday and bleach did nothing to it so I painted it with some drain cleaner, it did strange things to it in about 2 seconds, oops, back to the drawing board

I'm gonna ask your expert opinion here, coz to the watch game I'm a toddler and when it comes to vintage, I pretty much don't exist...
What details do you see in this watch which you might change in order to give it a more authentic look? Or is it good the way it is?

It's good the way it is, if it was mine I would probably change the insert for one without minute markers and a bit faded to match the dial a bit more ,
probably this one https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/172264455440
But that's just personal preference, it's a very nice watch

@Saby This first Society Big Crown build is very nice, personally I would change the crown for a gen and add a domed T19.

Went a bit far with the bleach. I put it in then got called to help with maths homework, it ended up being in for thirteen minutes.
