This obviously isn't the greatest pictorial, but here's a few snaps from back in '07 I took; don't think I ever posted the first few--some crappy, some not: Swiss SSD V2 & Swiss Sub (Noobmariner? which type, unsure), both from Andrew: NOTE: I did install recessed aftermarket inserts & pearls, and a light polish on the case & bands, but the lume is factory though. Enjoy.

Not trying to pad the post count. I just got these pictures put together and I wanted to share. This watch has taken a ton of time, a ton of patience, and a ton of cash. Some would argue that I could have had a gen for the price. I believe, however, that this particular watch was never about the money -- it was about the chase. Many of you on the board have helped, some in getting parts, some in buying parts off of the old watch (i.e. LH dial, V crown guard, palp crown). It's been fantastic. I've had multiple gens of multiple brands, but this one is very special to me. I decided to put this watch together upon learning that we were having a boy -- born July 16. I thought this would be a nice gift for him, and there would be an interesting story to go with it. Basically, if you can see it, then it's gen. Gen dial, gen hands, gen crown guard, gen movement, etc., etc. The caseback, however, is not gen. I will post a pic later, but it's a blank Jimmy Fu with sapphire. I wanted a blank caseback so that I could engrave my name, his name and his birthday on it. As soon as I find a trustworthy engraver, off she goes one last time. So the pictures. I'll upload more in the near future, but this should give you an idea.
