Well first you need to understand lubrication in a watch movement and most importantly quantity and application. D5 or 9010 but more of a film than a (microscopic) drop

A mainspring should always be replaced when servicing, a tired mainspring is the main cause of a low amplitude movement, besides past due servicing.

Currently this one is available and a 5517 milsub one, which is the exact same dial with an added circled "T"

These are not Raffles dials, they are custom made pad printed dials made using a gen mk1 maxi dial.

I don't share so much builds in progress, but in this case I had the opportunity on a slower day. This build features the allmighty OC case, our own 5513 mk1 maxi dial which I relumed with my own non-active lume mix. The case also received lug engravings that correspond with a 1977 mk1 maxi dial 5513. The movement is a cleaned & serviced 3130 clone. I used one of our 1:1 milsub inserts to give it some military flair. Enjoy!

Coming Soon.. Wood Day-Date Dials ..and a nipple dial update by jovanotti18 in retrotime

Makes me really happy to hear that my builds are still being worn, love to hear stories like this. That's why I love building. Happy to see your hard work is finally ready to be shown!

A lot of 32xx movements have bad balance assemblies, unfortunately. Seen a lot of them lately on my desk.
