If you want the dial indices pop, you can use a sharpie to color them brighter orange. If you can't find the exact color you want, you can also just order dials with white indices or white hands and just color them with a sharpie. You can even go so far as to color a piece of clear tape and put a small piece of tape over the back of the date window to make your date wheel any color you want. I wouldn't recommend using this trick on a black wheel with white letters. It is very hard to read the numbers. I tried coloring the actual date wheel but on some wheels, the ink dissolves the numbers. I made a lime green and black Captain Willard with a lime green strap and black deployant buckle and it absolutely rocks.

I have tried but I'm just not steady enough 😢 I have most of the tools so I stick to what I can do to save myself money. I have a invicta which needed a new movement which I purchased but during the replacement I lost two of the small hands and as I didn't really know what way to put back together I gave up intending to have another go at it at some point when I feel more confident.
