As promised....my grail. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

DH, I have milled the edge for the spring off on a cheap 1655 to use a gen plexi in a 1675 build. It is very difficult to get perfect! Do yourself a favor and grab up a TC case to move it into. $250 well spent. It will come with the extremely nice TC bezel assembly that will take the gen insert. You also get the benefit of very nice crown guards.

Today new entry...Oris gen.

Thanks buddy!

Here's my genuine for comparison sake

Absolutely stunning!

1675 had a pretty good scratch on the plexi that I couldn't get out by hand so took the bezel assembly off and worked the plexi with a dremel. Also needed to work on the old folded Jubilee I recently acquired. So cleaned up the bracelet, little brush and light polish to areas and worked the 55 end links. Took several attempts to get it right but now the fit is good. Forgot to shoot pics while she was apart. I love this old Swiss Jubilee. Super thin and light. Wears great and is super comfortable. Please note...no polishing of the case[emoji1303] Now that the 1675 is done. Time to work on the 5513. This is my birth year "Grail" piece. I am not a watch smith so it takes a little ahhhhh....[emoji51] courage to work on this. I have not taken her apart since acquired. Bezel was hard to rotate and also needed a good buff of the plexi. Thank the watch Gods, bezel came off easy. Before: you can see she is pretty dirty under the bezel. After some clean up. Once again no polishing of the case. All back together: My two favorite references together: Fun day with the hobby [emoji1303]

Got an update from PBDad - Dial printing is almost done. Sapphire glass is ordered - 10 or so days for it arrive. Case is being chamfered as we speak. Hope to have it towards end of November. Can't rush perfection!
