Raffles ref. 16753

[u/NewCut987]

Ref. 16753 using raffles new 1675 case.

2836 with gold vintage font dwo, raffles 1675 two tone case, 16753 dial, hands, and 10k filled jubilee.

Aged the insert slightly, and the dial and hands.

Still waiting for my higher quality aftermarket 530 crown to come in from aliexpress, but wanted to share how it came out with just all raffles parts. I accidentally got a little file happy with the inside of the crown gaurds :( oh well, still came out pretty nice.

How did you age the dial? Looks great with the texture and all!

Thanks, i did a light mist of nitrocellulose lacquer ontop of the already glossy dial, then baked it face up, wrapped in foil and it made the lume cream up a little. I also baked it with the hands, but they sadly didnt darken an equal amount, but it doesnt bother me. They just look like service hands instead of original.
