Excellent result Mike!
I think you achieved a perfect outcome, the marriage of a spectacular dial from the 1994 homage series with a sturdy and robust screw back case from an RAF '53. And you put a chronometre movement in to. WOW! I would very much like to see the watch in the flesh. You're not coming out to Californai soon are you?
I also enjoy making project watches. You just had to take advantage of these beautiful dials. They might not ever come up for sale again. This dial won dial of the year in 1994 and it is easy to see why. This is an original limited edition Omega dial and one of the most asthetically pleasing dials ever produced - period.
Thanks for sharing the pics Mike, you have another winner that you can wear and enjoy.

Nothing like the combination of a chronometer manual wind movement with a large, thick stainless steel screwback case combined with a beautiful scientific dial - movement from the 40s, case from the 50s and dial from the 90s - shows the versatility of ome...
