amazing, congrats! where did you source a gen dial??

and also because it's a sandwich dial....but the lume is even, don't worry

I think nightwatch doesn't mod molnija's anymore.... it's a shame, beautiful movement, perfect for a vintage build

I can't get enough of this.......my noob 29m

I really enjoyed reading your thread! awesome adventure and great photos! So sad, that you had to give up maybe this story will cheer you up http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/19/73yearold-japanese-woman-_n_1529599.html

probably not so popular, but I think the Sinn U1 should be added to the list

congrats, this is a beautyful monster but looks like the datewheel isn't correctly lined up in the datewindow, right?

I vote for Omega too

I don't know the weight of V2 with the aluminium case, my V1 has stainless steel case, weights about 150 gr! The case is noticeable thicker than manual luminor cases, but it's not big imho, feels very comfortable on the wrist. The movement is running pretty good, best power reserve I've ever had from an asian 7750, over 40 hours, it gains maybe 1 minute in a week! I don't have a proper case opener for this, so I couldn't regulate it better! Duct tape ball didn't work this time And I used a light black window tint solar film for the caseback the gen has a darkened cb crystal too

I'm so glad I got myself one! really love this watch! sure, it has some flaws, but since there is almost no chanche to meet a gen in person, I really don't care! So if you like the looks, buy it! There is already a V2 out from a different factory with a few updates like aluminium case, no rollerball CG, uncoated crown tube, but with a low beat 7750. Here some pics of my V1:

kinda like the lumed fonts

my favourite for today
