wow really impressive. How did you get the dial and the hands? That match perfect!

I believe the 7750 is what you seek.

Very interesting but the band looks too big to be a vintage.

Nice job as always Marty!

Wow this is a stunning example.

R have you ever done a 6542? That would be a fun project withe the acrylic insert.

Another great build and picture summary M Congrats!!!

You seek a 7836 folded band from Mary at Watch International. They are on this forum.

Great job as always!

So Freddy what is your process of finding these people? Do you go to jewelry shops in small towns and ask if they have any old watch parts for sale?

I trimmed the inside of my bezel as well. It was easy and did not take that long. Just do a little at a time.

I plan on taking some better pics with my Canon 50D. I really need a light box.

After nearly a year my 7032 is finally completed! I got the 7734 movement about a year ago for $105 on the bay. I then got the case from DW, hands from Yuki, and folded link band from Mary. The watch was sent the Zigmeister for a full service. He then match the markers to the hands. Here is a quick picture. I would like to take some better ones later this week.

I guess I should pop the bezel off and glue it from the back?

My Euromariner sub insert fell out the other day. It will not click back in so I supposed it was glued. What is the best way to get it back in?

I think M posted about a new after market crystal that has a beveled edge like the gen and is very inexpensive. That would be a good choice. Here is a link to the thread:

Crystal comparison

Marty the build looks great! I know it has been a labor of love. The bezel turned out really well. A lot of people end up having to shave some of the dot markers on the bezel off. Yours looks perfect! My 7032 is on route to the master. I hope to have it soon. Did you use the stock endlinks or did you get some gen ones?

Which crown guards look better the PT or the Yuki?

It is called asymmetrical.

I wonder if DW would sell a case without the holes drilled.

ChiMan I think it looks great!

You need the following parts:

8000/3 bestfit X5942  chrono seconds gear

8040 bestfit X5944  chrono minute gear

8120 bestfit X5924  sliding gear

Cousins UK has them in stock

I have got the master up north

What is the proper crown?

M are you going for a gen crown as well?
