Frank this is an excellent project. What about the movement. Which one did you get?

its the DG-movement - seams to be the easiest choice

That's vintage

ha ha oldtimer !

come to daddy

Tribals trip on the memory lane made me check out some old pics .....

why did i sell them ?

cheers,

Frank

What's the story with the hands? From cousins too?

Tis gorgeous

its a mix betw Yuki and Rafflestime - hence i need to relume them - caseback is also from Rafflestime.

cheers,

Frank

i found the crystal in my parts bin

planned is an other date-wheel, reluming the hands to the same tone and maybe a gen crown - but dont know if its worth is Cousins tube is already installed . rep crown fits perfect.

want to keep this on budget - went over the top with gen dial and ETA 2893 on my older build ...

cheers,

Frank

Nice looker you have there , how budget is budget though? did it come with the folded bracelet?

thanks - yes , its basically Josh vintage Explorer with WSO bezel and Yuki dial.

here is my budget 1675 - still some work left - i have some parts incomming - but so far its at least wearable

sorry for the dusty pixx :

cheers,

Frank

confirmed my QC pics too - just hope it will leave China before the CNY ...

cheers,

Frank

To be honest frank non of the handsets on his site look any good to me, the merc star looks to fat and the point to long and the metal suround to fat

mhhm - i find the merc star a little too slim but thats only when comparing to my gen Tudor side by side.

+1 on Yukis - they are curved - i was lucky one time on ebay - but thats a gamble -

here Yuki hands an my GMT :

cheers,

Frank

planning to sell it - but give it an other try

cheers,

Frank

Gent's can I ask what all the fuss is about here? Because I'm just not feeling this watch. I don't get the Historic Dial and hands mixed with a modern case.

Don't get me wrong I love a good base but something just looks odd on this to me perhaps its the colour of the hands.

What is it that's got everyone worked up? Is it because its 1:1 or that its commanding a premium in the Gen world. Or is the Pam addiction kicking in for everyone. I'm just trying to understand the appeal of this watch. Perhaps the curse has been lifted from me.

Why do you like this watch so much?

Base, brownish dial, hand col, lume col, closed caseback - 44mm - max i can wear - for me just perfect

getting the right hands is not so easy - for me most importend is that they are curved

older MBW style :

cheers,

Frank

cheers,

Frank

yeah - i had to order one .... damn

the big question: - will this be shipped out before Chin New Year ?

cheers,

Frank

def need some member pix !

cheers,

Frank

Domibaby is you man aka Domitime -

cheers,

Frank

so close and yet so far great post - should have looked closer yesterday

cheers,

Frank

BTW great strap Modelizer.

agree - the JV is nice - but not so sure about the shirt ....

Cheffe for president !

Aha..! Aside from the second hand, does anything else indicate it's fake?

betters ask the other way around really a bad fake ...

got the last missing part for my GMT today - just wanted to give it a test ride when the PAM Ferretti arrives ...

well Friday 13 - what can you expect

anway . the "Ferretti" strap blows me awyay !

cheers,

Frank

the one thats always ticking

cheers,

Frank

after seeing the QC pictures i cooled down a little

waiting for the black one - but i have a bad feeling about those CGs - they look really wrong.

cheers,

Frank
