That is beautifully done. When you see them with a fresh case and old dial it doesn't always sit right, the fade of the dial is a big deal for me so I couldn't get on with new face/hands/case.
I have toyed with the idea of getting the new version but it's not quite the same.
Airhead-
Also the new ones are quite a bit bulkier, I think.
I know what you mean about the original hands/dial etc looking just right. They are way out of my price range though. Not sure when was the last time you checked the prices, but a good condition ones are well over £3k these days. That’s why I decided to search for one to refurbish. And I’m hoping it’ll look right. Thankfully the tritium on the dial didn’t fade too much (I’ve seen some examples go very brown), so the new handset shouldn’t look too out of place. Anyway…
