Wow, nice repair the the "11" of the dial and the adjacent black paint. Now that I look more closely (and have seen the blog), all the numbers were sympathetically relumed. Now I wonder what had caused that gouge to the dial?

Nice photo, Mitka. What car is that in your avatar? I can see "Cheverolet" if I look closely...

Very nice and good restoration job. You should post a picture in the black dials thread.

Thanks Adam. I don't know why someone did what they did to the watch, I'm getting better at applying the luminous compound of dials... It's a 1960 Corvair. I like the oddball cars😉

It's no damage at 11, just some fill loose from the minute hand. Myself I would have prefered a more vintage look on the colour of the refill/ relume. Yellow/ Orange, and definitely not glowing, at least not more than very slightly

Ah, an optical illusion!

I was considering luminous compound like I did on my Eterna bumper to mach the dial, but since I was doing the entire dial I chose to show it for what it is😀 A partly restored dial.

I'm a big Eterna fan😉 My next Eterna project in need of love. Someone had pulled out the hairspring... But I have sourced a parts movement.
