docthor Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 :(...on my hunt for a dial I had a close look on the gen (2594.52) and just found out that my "quick shot" was way to quick...the dial is totally off and a gen dial won't fit a 7750. So I either find a black dial usual style (non-tricompax) to finish that build or I sell the whole watch C&R...will see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peashooter Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 My Seamaster collection, all genuine. Bought them by "accident"....all of them within a few hours through bidding on eBay a few years back. I placed bids on them and was only planning to get one but forgotten about the bids till it was all over hahaha needless to say I had to do a lot of explaining to my wife The chronograph is the Titanium / Titane version.....one of the most comfortable bracelet ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernow Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 So, docthor was kind enough to send me an AR'd crystal for my black Seamaster Chronograph as mine was very hard to read in anything less than perfect lighting conditions. I had it installed recently and wow, I'm actually going to start wearing it again Thanks doc before and, after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it installed recently and wow, I'm actually going to start wearing it again Thanks doc before and, after It is amazing how an AR'd Xtal can change a rep. For most it's all you need to do. It is especially true for the SMPs. I remember when I did mine, totally different watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernow Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Yes it does. I may have to go for a relume in blue and longer chrono hands on mine though. Damn this frankening bug! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernow Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Here's the first of 3 being built by Micky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernow Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 And another cool build from Micky. This one uses a closed factory Seamaster Pro case, a PO bezel and insert, a gen Seamaster 2230 dial and hands (relumed in white by KeNnY) and a profsteve double AR crystal. The results are spectacular - better than a gen Seamaster IMHO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting on Micky now for the 3rd instalment. Apparently, if, like Beetlejuice, you say his name three times he appears (with a complete watch hopefully!)....... so.........

kernow Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 And true to his word......... This one started life as a >2008 SMP Chrono. It was purchased M2M on one of the forums and quickly crapped out - both crown/tube stripped and the movement lost a few teeth on various wheels. Micky suggested a new A7750 and sourced one at a reasonable price. Then a new crown and tube were installed along with s profsteve double AR crystal - a great addition to almost any watch. Micky painstakingly repainted all the chrono hands in red and stripped the paint off the subdial second hand leaving it chrome. Now all the chrono hands are red and the clock hands chrome. I found out after starting that Omega have built some of their new chrono's the same in homage to this one a reversed date wheel along with the (current) orange PO bezel insert complete the look. Add a few(!!!) hours for Micky to throw it all together and all I can say is I'm very pleased with another outstanding built. If you're thinking about having a one off piece built I can thoroughly recommend Micky to do the work. Cheers again Micky. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joy of owning a build like this is that there is no right or wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
