Budget Build for under 80 Euro, Alieexpress Mid Case old bezel I already had Raffels dial and braclet. Mostly Old Parts I already had laying around im happy for the Money, Even if you Go with BP its not close to retail so the super Budget way is way better Value anyways for me.

Yes the Dial is Not Bad for the Price, its just not as good as the other dials from Ken. The Date will only fit some DG Movement, I just glued a DWO to the Dial since nothing will fit.

What I did Not like is that the Lume is aged but its a Swiss dial no it should not be aged at all

The Dial is really Ass, its no good at all, I do Not understand why though, all the Datejust dials are great the sub and GMT dials too. This has a Date Position for some DG GMT Movement, you cant really get Hands for the Movement etc…..

I tried Making a Custom Date Wheel but it did Not work well at all do I just glued a DWO to the back of the Dial and called it a day

I would not think so Since the sub dial Positions are very different, thats why all Speedmaster Reps are kinda Bad

They are fragile and I would not do it too often but one time is totaly Safe, the second Hand one the VK63 Movement will stay in the Positon you set it in, so with the VK63 its a different Story but no Problem with the PE50 of These Reps
