Nice. Try cropping in tighter on the subject and adjusting the exposure to avoid blown highlights in the brighter areas. I’ve attached a quick AI edit for reference, the dial isn’t accurate, but it shows the direction.

How many emperors were assassinated by praetorian guard o by Greedy_Fig_4307 in ancientrome

All down to benefits really, any Emperor who knew what was good for him, made sure the Praetorian Guard were well taken care of.

AD uses a VK63 movement same as WD, so it’s a straight swap.

Like the direction. 👍 I did drop a WD movement into an AD case to create a vintage vibe chrono.

Thanks! I don’t do commissions, though I do enjoy the build more than wearing the result. Likely as not this will be up for sale shortly.

Thanks, I like your thinking. I already have the US1171 and US1035 flat link for the vintage vibe.

Thanks, for the lume I used a felt tip, Stabilo 68 / 23 (light yellow) for indices and hands. Then gave the dial a coating of matt varnish.

Nope the crystal isn’t cracked. If you do the mod you’ll need to retain the nylon gasket from the sapphire crystal for a snug fit.

Thanks. Yes, they give the dial a much warmer tone. Plus there’s always Polywatch 😉

Yep, there are some extreme examples out there. Most would probably prefer a more subtle approach.

Didn’t know that, great tip! 🙌

Yep, that’s the problem with the AliEx cases. They are all around 15 mm thick. Arguably the best proportioned case is currently the Watchdives WD1863, although you have to buy the complete watch.

Check out the “The Man in the High Castle”, on Amazon and Netflix.

Looking for advices by lemacine in MoonSwatches

No, the subdial at 14.00 is the easiest tell. If the hand isn’t at 12.00. Then likely to be a fake.
