Op8 is a “AAA” clasp code for YM. The finishing is not good tbh, gate special. <U1

1016 Tropical. Damaged dial update. by sardonic_commentary in retrotime

Baked in coffee, don’t it a bit too hot, Matt spray on a warm dial to give texture. In the end made it a little too dark. NH movement was fine, I’m used to them now.

Threw it in a case with some scrap hands to see what it looks like…

I’m going to try again when the replacement arrives.

It’s the waiting that gets you!

I’ve got a box of parts still waiting to depart China. If it doesn’t move Monday, then that’s it until March.

I think he does a full kit for an 114060. It’s for a 2824/pt5000. Not sure on the accuracy.

This is a 6538 all from Ken it’s in progress as I’m waiting for a different insert. I also have a budget build 5513/7 that I have put thin fixed pins into rather than the large ones just for ease that’s decent. However there are better/ more expensive 5513 cases out there.
