that's a very handsome build

is the crystal from wso?

I removed the date disk and the complete date mech assembly from my 2846 for a no date build. You can also file off the 'date stop' when pulling out the crown from the eta setting bridge, so there is no irrelevant setting position.

sure, but the majority of us aren't building PCG vintage subs, and that profile is useless for any 1680.

Sorry, I should have clarified what I meant with the "rear profile". This is probably the most common crown guard style on the vintage subs. it's on the majority of 5513s, 5512s, and 1680s. The yuki and phong cases I've seen don't have the right shape on the back. They're just round instead of flat with a slight extrusion past the beginning of the tube then round. Yuki and phong cases more closely resemble a 1665 CG. I cant find any gen 5513, 5512, 1680 examples with the same classic tear drop cg shape the phong and yuki produce. A PCG has the same transition on the bottom then the rest is completely different, and even a square cg looks nothing like what they're producing with regards to the classic tear drop cg. Some of these yuki and phong case examples are as recent as 2017. None of the below examples are from a PCG or square guard case unless stated on the pic. They were all meant to be the tear drop cg and are from rep forum members builds who paid over $1k for these cases .

for some reason phong and yuki can't get the crown guard profile correct on the bottom, but the cartel case does. for me that is an instant tell on these high cost replacement cases.

that's not bad for a 1520, and I do need one.

Yuki also sells the same dials with feet for eta on their website http://www.yukiwatch.com/ETAdial.html

service will run $100-$200.

WSO parts are garbage. Bought many, returned all. I would stay away.

very nice build

i've seen him wearing a 1966 5512 recently. In the past on most of his shows i've seen him wearing a yellow dial Qakley

very nice

that is a nice build. that HR dial looks great too.

that case is probably only worth using for mod practice.

you'll need the correct eta movement ring, eta hands, and an eta stem. the original rolex crown can fit on the eta stem.

I'll take five!

acrylic paint works well. Can even find "ivory"

Clarks with a Yuki second hand trimmed for length is a decent combo if TC aren't available. Comparison CLARKS -GEN -YUKI

looks gen to me

probably to mimic the beat rate of a vintage rolex in a case that only takes movements of 2824 sizes

thoughts? https://puretime03.com/daytona-116520-arf-1-1-best-edition-904l-ss-case-and-bracelet-black-dial-a4130-super-clone.html visual accuracy? real 904L? how bout that 4130 copy movement (secs @6) ?

what size are those lugs drilled to?

that looks pretty good
