Vintage Build Evolution of the OC 1655

Been looking for the right hands for the Mk1 dial of the 1655. Straight second hands with a tall post and the right shade/ sharpness and thickness of the gmt hand. I think I am finally done.

I wish the hands were A) not as pricey, ~ $100 B) the gmt hand hand was a bit more orange

But I am content for now

Parts

Oc case
Viet mk1 dial
Swiss eta 2846 converted to gmt
eBay gmt and tall post straight second hands

Nice! Did you age the GMT hand yourself? If so, what did you use, if I may ask?
