Naaa save you cash and get it done localy or by domi ziggy ect

Thing is all the compressor type watches i have seen were on leather straps so i dont know how it would look, The mods i would like to do with this still is make the bezel click, reprint the bezel to be a gmt and run a 2893 in it, also replace both crowns to be screw down ones

I was thinking mesh?or beads of rice? due to the heritage of the case type

you can get a dial with vintage brown lume of new green lume

i t looks to me that you have still 2 removable links on one side?? or at leaast one swap that link over to the other side

kin ell, that is a pension fund there!

It was a bit od a search for the right hand shape, but i got it right in the end i think, the problem with the brown dial is that it is too brown, i would need to remove all the lume and re do it from scratch, I am ammazed that the seller sells this with a 2824 with standard lume ect for €750!

A great gesture Ubi, great looking part

Just a one off red, i had a longines but sold it on, it was a bit too new and the lume on the hands was terrible

You just need to look here mate

A while ago i was asking about date wheels to sort a project out that i was working on, well in the end i had to make a date wheel as only while were available and only fromm the guy who sells the cases on ebay If you buy one of these you will need to get the date wheel with it which he does not adavetise, do i recomend them, if this is what you want to build then there OK but be prepared too fiddle if you stray from his design, I was expecting a fairly easy build even with my ideas but it was not quite so, My Plan was for a compressor style case, with great lume using a 2892 that i had laying about, in the end i had to mod:- The movement for the dial feet (movement issue) Add H4 canon pin, hour wheel and second wheel dure to the convex shape of the dial (this will be the same with a 2824) relume the dial as stock lume was poor relume the tudor ranger hands to match Make a fitting date wheel from 2, as any ETA one positioned the date exactly between do dates in the window Mode the movement holder to take an eta, (either the one i was sent was for a miyota or they are too small for the ETA from the start) Find a correct size dial spacer to get the movement and dial at the correct height for the date and the stem for the tube. But i ended up with what i was after a 42mm compressor with great lume, plexy glass and internal bezel, I am thinking i should have got the brown aged lume dial though. What do you think

Some thing new for me more info here

I think Richard Lawton NEEDs this in his office, Is this project jousyt for your friends wall ir is it a private commission?

All finished and it gave me some issues but nothing that i couold not surmouunt I will post some pics and details later

Yep to both, i wear a watch 24/7 and i need to know the time in the dark, some times for work as well, lume for me is aboyt the fuctionality of the watch, for me if i cant read it in the dark then it is only 50% functional.

Sorry for your loss Marty and for the loss of your job but you have a good attitude, have some self time and keep smiling, you have a good attitude so things will work out

Damn i had been using droop cgs as a tell for ages, i spent ages reshaping mine to get rid of them, maybe it is ok

Nice find Ubi

borrowed a pic from giletos new 5512 MBW

Another one At this angle it looks a little better but still low This is for sale on TZ UK, have a look dubvios story too, the only thing that looks odd is the crown pos, but that is about the hardest thing to change on an MBW case (i only know one person who has welded the hole and redrilled it to the correct height) Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and also look at the droop at the bottom of the crown guards Any one got an unmodded MBW that can photo the droop at the bottom of thre CGs and a gen to compare I would say this is a franken with an MBWcase heavily vintageised and I HOPE NO ONE FROM HERE

Is that as it came from MBW or is that a different bracelet and crown, the lug holes look correct to me

I get the plot now!!

Spectacular, and the case shape looks great like bob says, it is noticable

WOW, no hang on wow I like that a lot, could he make other designs and cases????

Looks good Bob, we got about 3 inch (of snow, before Miss understood pops up) where i am in germany now
