@TheSociety is there a "budget" way to achieve a 6238 silver dial that is SOMEWHAT accurate.... I saw there is some Venus powered ones with frozen 6 subdial. What are your thoughts on this approach?

That's a damn beauty. Congrats man.

And I'll look into my archives too regarding the '-T Swiss-' :p I'll report back if I manage to find something.

Natural patina so not too overly tropical (as oppose to a brown printed dial. This dial started out black!)

Outstanding build. Calling it beautiful a 100 times more will not do justice to this beauty.
Wear her in best of health mate.

Oooh My! That's a sexy Mutha F*diet!
The attention to detail is amazing bro
So two years this dial sit to get that patina? Now that's dedicated builder there. As always mad props to you bro! That movement is pure sex...I couldn't imagine waiting two years to mount a dial..wow
Your builds are just as nice as gens in my eyes! Gorgeous is a under statment ;)


I can't stop staring at it?? It's got a spell on me:drool:
