Yea it didn’t take long lol I’m anal about waiting so I got her to express it to me lol It’s quite a lot better than the Phong, the numbers are the correct size and the 5 min markers aren’t as fat and a bit longer reaching to the edges as it’s supoosed to. Here are some photos, in my watch is a ruby insert but it’s not been massaged yet so a little too crisp for the watch. The photo of the insert alone is a phong with my own pip and aged to take away some of the black above and below the numbers to make it look better vs. The stock ruby insert.

Hello guy I show you my last build spec: -JKF complete watch. by myself I mod the CG, is the first attempt so it’s not perfect, maybe are too thin..I create little bevel on the lug the jkf was too sharp) -eta 2879 low beat (remove the data quick set, so now is like the 1570) -Viet dial (the dial fit perfectly without any mod to the rehaut) -grey data disc -clark plexi -retain washer cousinsuk -wso 580 endlink -raffle hand deep yellow -phong blue tudor insert faded(I’m going to change it with a chocolate insert if i will be able to faded the black Slay insert over a oven) -2mm spring bar (the hole of the jkf was already for 2mm) -athaya crown and tube

Very nice! So pleased to see a decent 5517 insert at long last!! Thanks for the shots. Looks good now, it’ll looking great after you done the subtle ageing [emoji106]

Below another my project 1680 with phong insert..

I do not know how to say it, but....... . I like it!!! somehow that touch of blue just highlights it? That is just my opinion and I may be in the minority here. If it were a little more faded being more Cielo celeste, then it is very attractive!! On two occasions I have seen two vintage submariners where one had a tropical dial which had turned blue and it was awesome!! another time I saw one with a faded insert almost bright celeste and it was real eye candy!

Very nice spec! I’ve got a Yuki second hand on there, changed it so often I’m beginning to loose track. Had to shape the tip slightly too, rather than the tail.
