the Pre-V dials were "excavated" and the tritium applied inside (painted really) individually. A batch of tritium material, used for some of the model instead of maintaining the creaminess, turned orange, while the hands maintained the original colour, gi...

another couple of pieces. Can't trade a matching vs NM "au pair". Let's say that we both were more that satisfied with the exchange
