  1. I’ve been after this project since forever. I always missed having a Red Sub in the lineup. I dabbled here and there and each time the results were horrible. Finally I found an old school MBW and the game was on. I watched from the sidelines until the “right” dial showed up, then I found the right bezel and started aging it. I went with a very early pointy-four insert and amber pip. Then an original Polex Pete silver flat-three overlay washed up on these blissful shores. I tried 1,000 different T127 crystal and ring and bezel combinations until settling on the Sternkreuz. Then I filed and sanded the MBW ring until it all went together. Then I sent it all off to my ever-patient builder and gave him very minimal guidance: “use your artistic eye”. He machined the case and worked the details until it all fell together, and now it’s home and finished. I still need to have the PP overlay installed, but everything else is DONE. And what a beauty. It’s more than I hoped for. Thanks again to NeckyZips for being reliable, and being patient with me. The man is an artist nes plus ultra.

  2. Thanks mate. We were talking last week about vintage builds that have that certain intangible “something” that puts them over the top. I think this one is right there. Big props to Neckyzips for his artistic eye.

  4. You’re right Buddha, it’s much more like a 6202 Turnograph case. Good eye. I thought about grinding it flat and decided to leave it as is.
