Nice. Needs a grey strap though
I always change the rep strap to a genuine leather strap. I was thinking about a grey strap too. (Never saw that before but I think it looks great with the dial!)

After the Dutch GTG I saw this one with a dark brown ABP strap. I actually liked that too.

Grey can be very effective with a grey dial. The strap colour really makes the dial pop

Here is my grey dial Moser on a Black strap;

And here on a grey Camille Fournet;

That 16613 dial brother is a 16803 dial. You should do her justice. Put a 3035 on it and order a phong 3035 case. That is too purple too be a 16613. When the 16613 had a purple hint to them they were not tritium. The beauty dial like you have there is either a early 16803 or a solid 18K 16808. She is a beauty. Great find and good luck.
Thank you for the heads up! I’ll see what I can to give it justice. I’m using a custom case as is. I’ll see if there is anything needed to shift the casework towards a 16803 for the older 16613 I was having made.

I’m doing similar. I think a ton of people caught the gmt franken bug. I have a gmt 2 with SL hands and Dial and ceramic all gen but midcase and bracelet being built shortly by dan. All the parts but hands are en route to him. Hands taking a while from Europe

For those not looking to buy a gen 3186, dan is doing a crazy hybrid. It’s like half gen parts (the gmt required parts) and half sh3135. It’s less than half of gen (which makes sense) but is potentially actually reliable.

Besides that purple dial.
The most sexy dial I've ever seen in my life.
I need to see that finished and you to get bored of it.

I'm after this IWC 387802 for a while. Never pulled the trigger. Yesterday at the Dutch GTG I had one in my hands and now I really need to buy this one ASAP! :p

I loved this watch. Especially on Gen Brown Strap with Prof xtal. I’ll try and find a pic.
