    subdials fonts look very raw, mostly. But many minor stuff, for istance logo looks weird.

    lots of round 3s, including in "Compur 30", don't think I've seen that combo of tachy / tele scale before, strange 6 in the seconds subdial, etc

    This watch is pretty amazing I like the lugs and two tone dial I don’t know if it’s 100% correct. Being a 30mm watch it’s kinda small still very interesting.

    Just got this movement and dial off eBay would have been great if the hands came included. I’m sure they would’ve been the same style hands as the climate proof 262?

    Here's very similar one I used to have, I would not assume the hands would be like the climate proof. I think the climate proof has lume plots, but your dial has nipples?

    Oh wow that’s awesome, yeah you’re watch is very similar looks like there’s a different movement Mine has nipples. I believe your right it was dumb to assume this with all the dial and hand combinations UG offered.

    whats your movement type and are you sure the dial and movement are matched, meaning is the dial fitted to the movement or are they both separated?

    I would think cal 262 hands should be easier to find than cal 128

    I should think so. I have a ribbon-lugged cal 262 project and I finally managed to get a dial for it. The only problem is that I don't know if it's a 128 dial or a 262 dial and I know what sod's law says it is (equally there's a remote chance it's even a 255).

    The dial is for a 262. I believe I already have hands that will suit it an thankfully it wasn’t a 255 or 128.

    Hey thanks, I’m not sure I haven’t really looked through the sales forum much it could have been.
