Beautiful blueberry! love the crystal without cyclops...would you share the specs please?
The case is a milk case v2, the dial is made by @manodeoro, the hands are from WSO, the GMT hand raffletimes which have been relumed by @manodeoro the insert is a WSO Blueberry which I boiled in bleach. I was expecting a cac but it was stolen by the postman... The glass is a T38 verlux (made in France) I only buy this brand. The silver overlay is raffles dial, the crown is athaya.

@Hor-Fan , 🏆🏆🏆🏆

and I'll tell you why you won over everyone :

1) you managed to achieve the plum/brown/burgundy colour on the cheaper black insert even though the fat font is coeval and well done 👑

2) you have placed on the Yuki dial, which sincerely has the nipples not positioned like the Gen, with the original nipples in the same position as the Gen, even if the real Concorde dial is a chapter ring, but it's fine all the same👑

3) You have succeeded in having a gold bath with the same intensity as the 70's carat in the USA (24 carat) that was used at the time , referred to in the USA as the ’yellowone’👑

Congratulations brother !!!! For this year you are the Winner!!!!!🏆👑🏆👑🏆

Finding a proper rep brown nipple chapter ring dial is a unicorn hunt, I’m finding. Ruby had one 5 years ago for $550. , I balked at the price back then, now I’m kicking myself.
