What did you do to your watch today?

Excuse the unimaginative title... As a serial watch fiddler and assembler of bits one thing that irks me is crap lume.

Cheers W, they're great cases, s-d case back/crown, solid cusn8 bronze, 39, 48, 12 saph with clear ar. Comes compatible for nh or eta. I have a HK pt5000 going in next wk.
Dial is a nod towards to hamilton murph with arguably better lume.

I'd wager you'd prefer it in 36mm with 28.5mm dial as below?

I found this a little small but the 39mm one wears very big as its all dial at 33.5mm.

A month of wear gives you a great patina, the new one is already darkening.

My plan is to put a California dial in it.
You should buy the case and dial and make your own. I can supply links and a wee turorial on the two slightly tricky bits, hand mounting and stem cutting.
