Sometimes you find a nice watch on the internet for a bargain. Just payed 115 euro[emoji16] Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-A520F met Tapatalk

No, not that modern crap. I picked this dial up years and years ago for no good reason as the only bidder on eBay from a seller in Japan for pennies. I then found the midcase and bezel a few years later by chance from a seller in Australia for cheap and the project was on. The case is not branded, but it is probably a Waltham, or similar. I do believe it is the correct case (there are a bunch of slight variants on this deep diver case). I added an AS 1701 movement (still need the black date disc) and a sterile but otherwise correct case back. It probably had the brand polished away at some point so that there is just a faint serial number left. I also bought the correct handset on eBay for just $30. Found it on my very first search! But these are not those hands. The seller must have gotten another offer and magically "lost" them. Quite disappointing. So, here we have something that is close enough for now. The good news is that there are pictures of this watch on the internet with at least half a dozen hand sets, so either it came that way or the hands were replaced over the years. I would still like to find what I believe are the officially correct hands. I still need the correct case back, or to get mine engraved. That will be tough, so I'll probably stick with the sterile back. I did find a Blancpain case back for the 34mm version for sale awhile back, but at $700 it was more than I have in the whole project by a good margin. Cheers!

this plus the insta account do build up quite clearly the image of someone who wants to pass some rep watches as gen. I'd say to sell them fraudulently because Occam's razor. I still can't believe how ignorant he and his potential buyer were to mark the modded lowbeat 15400 as "stuttering rubbish"

Here is mine with gen dw and crystal for reference. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
