cool idea ! now i only need to find out what size it is

i build the same watch some time ago - looks like the twin-brother and here an other old shot cheers, Frank

been there done that - get a used WM9 assembly - there are a few for sale atm - or send the watch to Domenico - he can help you

i once lost a very nice gen insert - since then .. better safe than sorry

just get one of BK-datewheel-overlays and the correct 2,5mm gasket for the crystal. or do you mean the metal retaining ring ? there was one batch that needed to shaved down ... otherwise the insert would pop out while installing cheers, Frank

your wish is my command

this is Joshs 1655 the Asia-version - you will get a nice bracelet with the case for free

great job on your twins - esp the pointed crown guards ! wow ! these are not my tools this is Domenico at work in his studio

Euromariner was the first Sub with gen like construction you have to remove the bezel first with some watchmaker-knife - when the retaining ring is out - the gasket and crystal are free and easy to remove.

crystal swap is easy - you don't need to remove the movement - you only need an crystal press to get the bezel back on just search "Euromariner" and all your questions will be answered somewhere here you find a pic how the gen assembly looks like : *Euro* at the moment i have a gen crystal with cousins gasket in a WM 1.5 Sub installed - no sanding was necessary ... cheers, Frank

they are damn sexy - but im afraid to mess the case up and hove to go 6542 - so normal cgs fro me

thanks - or not - i already talked myself out of the 2893 idea

its a used gen dial found with a little patience cheap on ebay

thanks ! black yes - i already have a black insert on the way ;)as for the hand-set: i have trouble finding any hands for the ETA-movement - tried even the GTM-hand for 1570 - does not fit ...

i hate you ! ... i want to see some lume-shots !

the original case is a little too fat on the hips you can see it on my 1655 pics. here is where you have to start : i don't recommend the Dremel for this job ! but Domenico insisted i went later with sandpaper all over the case and the CGs too , but will have to wait till the gen crown is fitted to see the end-results better ... here is the case naked : cheers, Frank

the dial is again from ebay - got it for a very good price - had some marks on it that where fixed with matte spray the bezel assembly you can see on the first pic at page 1 - basically a gen-like construction ...

Tudor Hydro okay - not really but maybe in 30 years this one is golden

the hand stack totally forgot to think about it

thanks ! that's my plan - they are a little cheaper on ebay

thanks !

thank you very much ! the WM9 Yachtmaster endlinks are also not bad

one more update : now 1675 ! new dial gen crown does not fit on the tube - need to find a new tube - did some bleaching experiments thinking about a real GMT-movement cheers, Frank

that's a keeper

thanks! okay V1.5
