5512 white cartel build

Hello gents,

Here is another build I made with almost only cartel parts.

This time I wanted a clean and cared for look, a watch that lived his 40 years with joy and courage but which stopped by every now and then for some spa treatment.
There are marks, but they are vague due to the various polishing sessions it went through.

Lume on this watch aged gently to an off-white/light cream color, hands have been cleaned or maybe even swapped at some point through the years.

In order to get to this look I aged and matted the cartel dial, then relumed it in an off-white glowing fashion. Hands were relumed to match.

An Athaya crown and tube set was installed in order to get rid of the ugly rep crown. A new sternkreuz T19 plexi and an Athaya pearl complete the list of swapped parts.
