Outstanding indeed

owww.... that DRSD is just sooooooo beautifull too

Looks fantastic grimlocktime!! I really like the SS setup and the MP strap is the icing on the cake! Enjoy your beauty!!

yes you can

Beautifull pair Nanuq!!!

Problem solved.. pfieuw... I turned the little screw 1/2 turn at a time and checked after every 1/2 turn if the stem was still loose and after a couple of these turns the stem kept into place, I guess I was too hasty the times before that..

Hi guys, So I wanted to re-install the stem into my 1520 but I can't get it to "lock" after screwing the small screw... last couple of times there was no problem but now after carefully placing the stem into position and try to tighthen the screw nothing happens.. when winding I hear a small "click" and then I can continue winding on. the "click" seems to be some sort of release in the movement but since I don't want to ruin my precious 1520 I hope some of the more experienced members can give me some advice? Please help me thank you..

Yessssss!!!!!!! Looks GREAT! :) great strap combo as well :thumbsup:

@Athaya; any update as to when the 702 tube will be available?

Thanks for the tip although I must admit I'm reluctand to tapp a hole in the case, I might just end up using a 703 with high bevels instead.. it's just slightly thicker but I actually like it in combination with the cg's..

it's a gen dial but not a service dial (at least not to best of my knowledge..)

It's a HH (highoeyazmuhudee) prototype case

Impressive collection!! and it sure looks promising I would do SS (but I only say this because I am currently wearing the PVD version )

quick mockup of my current project; some issues I have to resolve; one of those is the 702 tube which is not fitting correctly into the case (there is too much resistance when I try to screw it in and I don't want to break the tube), could somebody give me perhaps some advice as to how to procede? As far as I can tell all the threads look just fine... apart from that I'm excited about finishing this build

Beautifull watch Nanuq!!!!

great work Athaya, I'm definatly interested in a (few) 702 tubes!

agreed

o, wow... that's a stunning piece!!!

Thanks

Can I quote you on that one?

After searching endlessly on the web i sourced it locally, i can't tell you how lucky i felt... I never imagined it would be so hard to find a good one...

one step closer (thanks B.!!)

Thanks guys, for all the kind remarks I appreciate it! @lionsandtigers; been very lucky with the dial; i was looking ww and had no luck but eventually i sourced it locally @netniet; landgenoot; I decide to let go I will shoot you a pm

Hi guys, I can't seem to remember when I posted some of my 'projects' on the board so it's time for an update I've been trying to improve my skills and I'm slowly climbing the ladder towards franken+ projects (it's been a slow but very fun climb ) These are a few examples of what I've been building, tweaking and tuning, none are franken builds but nice medium-range projects: First one is a 5513, specs and modds: - Old MBW case, reshaped cg's, gently aged case - Gen 703V crown - Clark 703 tube - Minh Maxi dial, repainted and reworked the indices - Unknown T-19 - ETA-2846 - Clark hands, aged and repainted - Gen faded insert w/ tritium pearl - OEM 93150 w/ 580 EL pics: --- Next one is a 1665 DRSD thin case, specs and modds: - HH case, thinned/shaved inner-rehaut for proper 1665 dial adjustment - Gen 703V crown - Clark 703 tube - Minh aged/brownish DRSD dial, slightly shaved at the edges for a perfect fit, repainted and reworked the indices - Unknown T-19 - ETA-2846 - Silver datewheel - TC hands, slightly aged and repainted - Gen faded insert w/ lumi pearl - 7836 folded bracelet pics: --- Third is a 1665 DRSD, specs and modds: - Old MBW case, reshaped cg's, reworked and aged case - Gen 703 crown - Clark 703 tube - Minh brown DRSD dial, repainted and reworked the indices - Bigcrown Superdome - ETA-2824 - Clark hands, aged and repainted - Gen faded and baked insert w/ homemade pearl - MBW 93150, aged and reworked. pics: --- And all this is has led to my first 'NOS' franken build (soo excited about this!!) I've collected all the parts, not everything has arrived yet but this will give you a taste; I can't wait for all the remaining parts to arrive and start building!!! I hope you've enjoyed this little photo-show Cheers! fitch

Beautifull M.!!!! :clapping:
