gold hour and minute hand
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/project%2047mm%20X%20mas%20watchbus/DSC_0025.jpg)
the case been sandblasted before dlc, u can see the contrast with the crown which was not sandblasted
i been searching for malaysia company who can do dlc... but so far cant find any... hopefully i can find it one day!
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/project%2047mm%20X%20mas%20watchbus/DSC_0028.jpg)
the sandwich california is something different from original...
but i was thinking this will improve the lume... (yeah... i'm some1 crazy bout good lume)
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/project%2047mm%20X%20mas%20watchbus/DSC_0031.jpg)
to save cost, this round i ordered a non decorated eta 6497 movement
so i choose a non see through dlc coated screw in caseback, it been specially engraved ! ( YEAH the X@ MAS.... for those who know the history )

matching this with a wontancraft strap... specially crafted
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/project%2047mm%20X%20mas%20watchbus/DSC_0036.jpg)
also the dlc vintage pre v buckle!

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/project%2047mm%20X%20mas%20watchbus/DSC_0061.jpg)
the lume is tremendous, super thick c3 lume has been reapply on the dial!
it is better than my pam111....
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/project%2047mm%20X%20mas%20watchbus/DSC_0041.jpg)
sit beside my rxw mm25 who has a california dial as well,
both 47mm but very different
1 polish case 1 dlc black case
1 cushion case with onion crown 1 with divers crownguard
1 wire lugs 1 screw in pin lug
1 black dial with goldish track the other with tobacco dial with white track
1 with blued hands the other with gold hands
1 with printed dial 1 with sandwich dial
conclusion - 1 for the night 1 for the day
