Just finished these three dials laser cut from formica all designed on lightburn using line and fill for the details.
Indices were were engraved with fill option then scrubbed off with tooth brush and filled with glow in the dark luminous tape cut to the shapes taken from the original design.
This luminous tape idea for inserts will be used in other projects of mine as it is available in widths from 10mm to 50mm and once charged under light lasts for up to 4 - 5 hours in the dark .

Nice work… 
beautiful, good hands.
interessantissimo e ben fatto …
potresti essere più preciso sulla denominazione di quel nastro luminoso (e magari dove viene venduto)?
Dont buy fakes they are rubbish.
Go to aliexpress everything you need to mod watches are on there .
Look for cases, dials, hands, straps, and movements.
Checkout you tube on building watches from parts from ebay and alliexpress.
Have fun.
What a novel project! Love it!
