Hi from italy i’m building a 5513 for my personal satisfaction... it’ll be Made of original parts .... Ok I’m mad i know Bongi Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk

Both the 2824 and 2836 show p/n 2557/1 for date Indicator (white background/black numbers/date at 3). Same part. The 2824 changes the date slowly and the 2836 flips instantly.

Recently got the chance to relume a JK Factory Tiffany’s Dial 1680. It’s a pleasure reluming this “era” watch with a creamy yellow, slightly pillowed lume. The added depth helps the flat, stock Cartel dial come alive. I just got my hands on some dark brown tritium tone lume powder - my next endeavor is to start experimenting with adding another layer of tone/texture to the lume dots - mimicking the degrading tritium lume of years past. Just need to get my hands on a spare 1680 dial... Oh, some pictures:

One of the founders is from MS. I tried to figure out a way to send him a message but I can’t figure out how to send a message just to him. Anyone know how? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

For me at least it’s the pleasure, and sweet pain, of doing the actual build that’s the hobby.

I have a lot of Gen watches like a lot of guys here and could essentially buy any Gen I wanted, but it’s not about that. It’s the hobby and the fun of the chase. If you don’t get that then you are in the wrong forum.

Freshly serviced Vacheron 454 finally fitted, displacing the old JLC base movement that was installed prior.
