Inner bezel? You mean the markings on the dial? No I don't think so. I just like the aged tritium look, but I do want the dial to look someone decent (like it was well protected under that acrylic crystal) Still need some mounting screws for the movement. Does anyone know what size screws the 7734 takes and where I might find a couple?

@Freddy.... Is that a Jaguar Member's sticker on the back window of your Mercedes? Still wearing my 9411

Oh come on K.... you know deep down you really wanted one of those beauties

I'm in. Just let us know if you think you can break away for a little bit Is that the same spot as last time?

Send it to me and I'll swap it out for you Even better....send me that and the old movement and I'll use the 4th wheel from the ETA movement that did work

I have a pile of ETA movements at my shop.....perhaps I can find you the correct 4th wheel?

Uh oh!!!! Thanks J!!!

Wish I knew the source I bought it off of a member named Marble, but no idea of it's origin at all. It's an amazing case though

It's an assortment of metal shavings and bits from a lathe. It's a variety of brass, hardened steel, stainless steel and aluminum. When shaken in the case, it takes away some of that new shine and scratches up the case quite nicely I also used it on the crystal. I put a protective sticker on the underneath side and then shook it in the shavings jar Looks just perfectly aged

Mary @ Watch International has the 7836 with the 358 endlinks. That would be your best bet

Congratulations db! Love reading about your various builds! You are a true asset to the community! So?? What's next on the list?

I believe it's a Yuban Instant Coffee container

Hey R.... any idea on the thread size for the screws that hold down the movement tabs? I have the tabs, but my collection of screws are all for ETA movements. Also any idea on a source?

Gen everything - except the case and caseback.

Is there a rep of this out now?

Getting a little further I'm still waiting on the 0.90 Stem so no more hand setting today unfortunately. Got the DW chrono hands paint stripped and then mounted. Got the bezel brushed.... And now for the famous JMB case aging trick

Is this a little better?

In progress

Nice! Did you get that one from eddog?

Thanks K..... but that's not coffee stained..... It's just old

And the wife's first ever wrist shot She's wearing the Turn-O-Graph that I built for her. (Sorry for the crap cell phone shot)

Thanks guys! Ziggy's definitely one of the best

Doesn't anyone remember the "Goofy" watch??

Hmmmm........ I wonder if our resident machinist expert has seen this one yet?

Wow.... such perfect timing for a comparison as I age my case and brush the bezel! Thanks for that! Too bad it would be nearly impossible to reshape the DW case CG's to get that subtle angle Such a great Tudor day today!!! A fantastic review of a great looking Monte Carlo and some amazing Tudors in the wristies section today too!
