Superb write-up with great reference pics too.

Feeling sorry I let mine go now!

Thanks for the effort Dovo

This looks like a scam to me. First photo is of a midsized Seamaster. Fourth and fifth photo is of a full size Seamaster. Just compare the '3 hour marker. Two watches.

Stay the hell away from this seller.

Wow! Certainly a mix of pix. Well spotted BT!

Wow! Simply, wow!

Sure! The girls have got one. Stinks all to hell though. I wouldn't recommend one.

For those who want something better, buy the real thing! (or at least a Viet case)

No, I agree with freddy. I have been sucked in to spending much more than common sense would dictate on getting a rep "just so". You just can't help it!

When the main goal is the project, the cost (within reason) becomes more of an incidental.

BTW, the date mag is wrong and the case back is wrong. It is not the colour of the hands that's wrong, it is the shape. The bezel insert looks incorrect for this mosel as well, it's missing the pearl.

Unless you are in love. I would treat this as a "bitsa".

Things don't look quite right here. Apart from the movement, which does look suspiciously small, the hands are wrong for this model.

The crown looks too big, and the bezel edge is one I have not seen before on this model.

But...... if you take it at face value as a franken, and get it for a song, it would be worth a punt.

It's not doing it for me. The colour scheme is a disaster. I think these Omega special editions are a bit cheesey TBH.

Great work. I love the results. It's a great thing to have such customising choice with a watch. You can't beat these Seikos in this respect.

Fantastic! I wonder how much shipping is.

One word. Just one will do.

Bloody nice job!!!!

OK so three were needed. Superb pics BTW!

I leave my reps at home. I bought an old Seiko diver which never leaves my wrist on holiday.

Sun, sea or sand, it doesn't matter what happens to that old conker!

AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! My eyes! My eyes! :shock:

Today's my first wedding anniversary, muchachos

Congrats to you both, TeeJay!

Not exactly a wristy, but this is on tonight.

Congatulations to you both!

Fantastic results jmb! Well worth the effort.

Neither would be "cheap" TBH.

Just take your pick of the watch spares stockists.

Got to be running seconds at 6 or 9, so that would narrow it down somewhat.

But what they are from stumps me!

Superb gold OP jojo. Gold not too in fashion these days, but that looks just the badger's nadgers!

I love it!

I use a 5x loupe for assembly and a 7.5x for luming.

Took a bit of getting used to at first, but now I couldn't do without them.

I tried a magnifier, but there is no comparison. Loupe every time.

Superb work. What a great looking dial.

One of my favourte IWC models!

Superb choice lani!

Although not in your league, here is my own Explorer 1 with homemade dial.

One of my favourite watches, though I prefer the look on the leather strap.

Great write-up! Love the finish on those cooked dials.

I must get me one of those air-brushes one day. But it's a fairly large outlay just for painting a few dials.

Looking forward to part 2.
