·Using a 3570.50 as a base, I assembled this franken (new dial with artificial patina, arrow head hour hand and steel bezel) with parts sourced from Ofrei.

·I'm thinking the same. But now that's parts army easy to obtain. I don't see it happening anytime soon.
Yeah, I think I must have got one of the very last dials available from Ofrei as I checked a couple of days after buying it and they're not showing any more.

·I posted this in WRUW a bit back, and it hasn't left my wrist. Speedy Pro 3573 with non-Milky Ring sapphire, Mitsukoshi Hands save for Alaska Project sweep chrono and Silver Snoopy cordura strap.

·Nice! The white dial does dimishes the milky ring effect on the watch sapphire crystal.

·This was a 3572.50. Did this 2-3 years ago. Been trying to buy a real one, but can't find one for a reasonable price.

Typical 3573's have the milky ring, like so:
And see this comparison shot, 3570 on left, 3573 right:
And see this comparison shot of my 3573 (left) before the Mitsukoshi mod and a 3572 (right)
As you can see my 3573 has a sapphire crystal but exhibits almost no milky ring. The only way you can tell it's sapphire in the picture is by looking at the edge of the crystal between the minute track and the bezel - the sapphire has a boxy edge while the hesalite has a curved edge.

Some models exhibit less the white border than others. White dials also diminishes the visual look of it.
