OK, M gets a gen, posts a group shot, and I suddenly realize I'm about 4 Explorers behind him on the rep side! I had an MBW dial "show up" in my mail box the other day and decided to do something about my Exp deficit this afternoon. I grabbed one of my trusty 2824 DJ cases, drilled some holes in it, and banged out a bezel. I was lucky and discovered I had one 2824 left so I removed the date bits and I was ready to go. The build went smooth and within an hour I had another watch to hide from wife.gov or I may put it up for adoption. I drilled out a rep riveted bracelet and put some wo990 end-links on it and I was set. It was actually fun to build something out of a dial I didn't have to clip and glue! Build Sheet: Rep 2824 case Clark T22 crystal A2824 movement Rep hands MBW Explorer dial Rep bracelet wo990 end-links for fat spring-bars Borel spring-bars Custom bezel It's too bad the dial maker got a couple of small details wrong on this or it would have been almost perfect.

If it's Tuesday it must be.......

Exactly my thought. Honestly, I would not take the risk...

It’s Complicated… The Christiaan van den Klaauw RealMoon 1980. Beautiful and mad at the same time… It’s too nutty to describe myself, so here is an explanation of it’ s complications from the CWDK website… “At the six o’clock position on the dial of the watch, a true-to-life ‘miniature’ Moon depicts its actual phases. At the 12 o’clock position, the height of the Sun in relation to the horizon can be read by means of a fine moving Christiaan van der Klaauw logo. The axis of the Earth’s rotation is tilted with respect to the position of the Sun. The result of this phenomenon - called declination - is that at places where the Earth is tilted towards the Sun, it is summer. Where it is winter, the Earth is tilted away from the Sun, and it is colder. The three o’clock position is reserved for the so-called Eclipse hand. When the Eclipse hand moves within the indication marks, there is an eclipse of the Sun or the Moon somewhere on the Earth. Finally, there is the nine o’clock position. Here, the phase of the Moon and the date can be seen.”

Not mine, but it's currently with me:

Where would you get a better dw from? I'll definitely get one of these if they're easy to come by! -- Thanks for the review by the way, great stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
