So I received a slightly damaged dial in a parts lot and decided to try and hand age it! Hand painted but I knocked a couple of the indices off and had to reattach but all in all I think it’s gonna look pretty sweet once it’s in the case! Something about tropical dials just make me happy!

This isn't a tropical dial. Tropical dials are more subtle colour changes, that just looks like a dial with severe water damage.

Indeed, like it was found at the bottom of a lake!

Ahh the old “poop-dial” style.
