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

nice build, congrats! where did you get the gen hands? I'm looking for gen hands for my smp chrono, but I have little problems with the subdial hands... I was looking at cousinsuk, but they seem to have 2 versions! Do you have the part numbers for your hands? How long are they?

holy sh*t that 206/A sub looks absolutely fantastic! thanks for the link

my vip is gone also

don't like the gold hands, but other than that, it's awesome! love the cb! please rep this thing

unfortunately this one has a display back but this new PO chrono looks so much better than the old one blue is my favourite anybody knows, why it has two subdial hands @ 3?

is the cheap version with asia 2813 a high beat or low beat movement?

awesome photos

I like it Actually I was thinking about the same thing...but never bought the watch. My plan was, to spray only the lume dots and the hands! Love the stealth look

If u want to let it go, I'm interested too

you need a stem with 0,9 mm tap size.... can be easily found on the bay good luck with your build

you need some regular eta case clamps, I've took it from an asian 6497, but I had to bend it pretty much to get the movement fixed! I don't know about the screw size though, took a few from some old movements, and tried them out stem will fit 100%, bought the same from the bay...twice cutting them stem for a screw down spring loaded crown is harder than I thought good luck

looks like your date window isn't in the center position either....I have the same problem is it a common problem with DW dials?

don't forget about the sinn U1, one of the best imho
