Tried some moderate weathering on a spare 1655 dial . It gives it a nice sun bleached faded appearance and gives it a nice aged look . What do you think??

For this Saturday.
Enjoy your day.

a brief update on the US spect 6541 this week.
I sourced a few new pieces for the project. A new bezel - I went another route , instead of a cartel 1655 bezel , this time I borrowed a bezel from a modern Milgauss style generic case 116400 from alix . Had to machine the OD down slightly and make room on the underside for the mid case . Dulled the polish as a preference and installed a T25 style crystal that was borrowed off an alix generic date just case after sanding off the cyclops.
while I had it apart I also swapped the cornet from my old 1019 dial . a much needed improvement to the Raffles dial .
Still not 100% satisfied with the dial , the engraver struggles with the uneven texture of the dial. I think its only a matter of tweaking the settings and I will have it nailed.
I am going to strip the dial plates to bare metal and refinish them and see if I can get it crisper. stay tuned.
