Vintage and Antique Watch Repair

The dial and hands have the original lume wells but I have removed all the radium and re-lumed the watch with some super bright C3 lume, color matched to the original decayed radium color.
So most trench watches from the WWI were powered by 3/0 (~28mm) and 0s (~29.7mm) sized watch movements. These larger 6s sized movements are about 35mm and are cased in large 38mm cases that really make them comparable to many modern day wrist watches in terms of size.
That eagle logo was only used on the black enamel dials from 1917-1918, and the white metal star dials from the same period.
All of those trench watches are gorgeous! I love that integrated shrapnel guard on the Waltham, and that Depollier is incredible!
Thanks! I have some vintage tint I add to the binder. I find that using the green pigment powder with the vintage tint trends to give the best combination of color and brightness.
