The easiest way is to buy it in a corresponding store. But sometimes it makes sense to turn a new item into an antique. For this you will need copies of old engravings and a dial printed on a color inkjet printer, dark brown acrylic paint, two shades of gold acrylic paint, sandpaper, PVA glue, water-based varnish.

• Photo 4. The hands are removed. The new dial is coated with PVA glue on the back side and attached to the old one.
