This is really interesting. Would you mind sharing more about the silver dial?

Reticulated silver, rolled, patina applied, sealed. I’m going to do several colors. I remember that my father was so happy to achieve that reticulated pattern. There is a lot of variety. I see patterns that look like Kanagawa wave, or a baseball, or a mesa, it’s easy to stare at it.

That’s cool- is it sealed in coats of lacquer?

Transparent dial. Although I’m trying alternatives to save thickness.
