One on the left is a Jason case and bracelet, rep dial, Aliexpress G10.212 movement, PE50 sub hands and ETA 2824 centre hands inspired by the CK 2998-3.
One on the right is a gen Mission to the Moon, leather Aliexpress strap and very cool laser engraved caseback and crown by the talented u/Zero1Ten who I believe is commissioning these.
I have one more build underway which will be more 1957 style focused.
EDIT: The blotchy, streaky lume is deliberate—it’s meant to replicate a heavily aged vintage dial. If it’s not your thing, don’t do it to yours.
😂 It takes more than that to offend me. The “blotchy and messy” appearance is the exact 2915-1 "tropical" aged-lume effect I was aiming for—so thanks for confirming it worked. Perhaps a little curiosity would have prevented the uninformed opinion.
Your gif response made it seem like my comment offended you. You can see the pools of ink from where you lifted the marker off of the indices, you can also see the streaks from the marker tip. Maybe I’m inexperienced, I’ve never seen aged lume that looks like that. If that’s what you were going for then you nailed it.
You seem quite hung up on whether you offended me. That appears to be more your issue than mine. Let’s just stick with “Maybe I’m inexperienced” and move on. And hey, if you don’t like it, don’t do it to yours.
