No reply from rubysswatch...

 

….any leads on the Cartel or MBW options?

 

Appreciate the help guys. 

 I usually hear back from them within 24-48 hours.

If it has a LEC, based on what that looks like is an easy way to tell.  Also, how the edges of the cyclops are finished is another easy way to tell.

looks good. MQ case?

Not from MQ, but since it's a Vietnam case, it's probably from the same source MQ uses.  

Yodog sourced the case for considerably less money.

I'm really happy with this one (like all of my Yodog builds!)

• Vietnam case
• Vietnam dial
• Slay's Fat Font Kissing 40 insert (correct serifs on the base of the "2"s)
• Gen 127 plexi
• Gen 702 crown
• Swiss ETA 2824 movement

Trying out a bracelet this week...

Thumbs up for the plexi.

Leather is meh.... on a diver. Forget all those Tudor fancy schmanzy wristies...

Steel is the new leather.

Well, you know what they say about opinions... 

Updated with a new strap and gen plexi...

Are these still available?

As far as I know, they are.  Mine is tracking for delivery next week.

Finally sourced a bracelet for this build... not easy to find in this condition.  I looked for a big crown version, but finding one this nice would have been twice the price.

A little gen plexi love...

Trying out some leather today from B&S... very comfortable right out of the box.

Great build, but I personally found the lume now a bit too raised. I have seen the gen and its is a bit more flatter.

The lume is flat on mine as is typical for a 1675 Type C gilt dial.

Is Yodog CONUS based? If you send him some or all of the parts will he work with them or does he source everything himself?

He's in Los Angeles.  He'll work any way you want.  Send parts, send a whole watch for upgrades or buy a finished watch.  Great communicator returning almost all emails within 10-15 minutes.  Sends progress pics and great for sourcing parts.  He sources the same Vietnam cases MQ does but charges 40% less.  Also, does the best lume application I've ever experienced among modders.

• Vietnam case

• Custom Yodog deep crenelated bezel

• Vietnam Gilded dial (Yodog applied lume)

• Gen insert

• Gen 25-116 plexi

• Gen 5.3mm crown

• A2836 gmt movement

• Hands... not certain but probably a mix of Raffles and other similar

I just received this build this morning from Yodog.  

His work and eye for the vintage/nos "looK" is over the top.

More pics to follow once I decided on strap or bracelet.

••• apologies again for another double post.  Not sure why this keeps happening. •••

Apologies for the repeated posts, not sure what the problem is with RWG.  

I've never had this problem before.

Was Pepsi, now black...
