Insert is from another Vietnam Guy with very good prices. today i received my watch from Josh now I’m waiting for a few other things and I’ll bring the watch to my modder

Insert looks better know. Well done mate !

Back to my 6542: I modded the insert yesterday. As you know. I have a NDT Trading bezel assembly. It was not cheap. But its quality. The bezel is awesome. The insert. It sat too high up the side of the crystal. So I removed it from the watch and sanded down the insert on some wet 1000 grit paper. Once I reached a desired height. It leaves a flat spot so I contoured it with a small piece till the flat spot was gone. Then moved to 2000 grit. Finishes or off with a light rub of poly watch to clear up the sanding marks. But didn’t polish it to a high gloss finish as it came new. This piece is 60 years old after all. [emoji6] the proportions of bezel to crystal are more gen now. Next I lightly sanded the back to remove a bit of. Paint and filled in with some black marker to give it a more vintage look I am happy with the results. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I grabbed a Tonny small arrow hand when they were available, now he's out of the business. They ARE out there... you just have to find one. Here's how it looks:

You might go a tiny bit higher but not much. A low dome is definitely the right look too.

I think this issue has been fixed guys. I faced the same thing a while ago, but it seems to be ok now. Any updates on your end?

Hey guys I did NOT build this watch. I bought it from a Member in the UK ages ago BEFORE I started building. I don’t remember all the details except that it was an awesome watch and I paid around $850 or $900 for it. The builder / original owner spent $1200 or so on the build. Sorry I can’t be more helpful but it’s been three years. I would remember more if I had built it but I didn’t. That being said it is a great watch and I do remember that the ad says it was an ETA with verification photo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The gen is an amazing piece, I got given a loupe to look at the knights and the tiled ground, the details are very intricate.. Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
