Merry Christmas ! my dear RWG Friends and members !

Yes thats what i will do i have a rep riveted but the pins just keep falling apart only the clasp is usable mabe i should order a sterile brace from ebay and fit my clasp

Hi I want to know too i need one for my 5513 yuki build ! my gen crown is pending but i still have no strap !

Thanks , yes they should have one of us on the board of directors then we would really show them how to make em good !!! i would also have exact vintage re-makes for us vintage watch guys, i bend both ways vintage and some modern, i use the word some loosely !!1

I will get you some fast food Instead !!! Thanks

Thanks jmb any ideas of some kind of engraving mmmmm !

Thanks cornerstone !!

Thanks Stormtooper !

Thanks Mike ! yes the big crown is indeed love and ROCKS and one of my best watches !!!

Very nice indeed !!! congrats

Thank you kind sir !!!

I want to bevel the top of the lugs like the pelagos i think that would make the case look much better and along with a metal bracelet should be the icing on the cake

Thanks fitmic ! very hard to photograph too much reflections from the crystal and ceramic bezel ! it looks even better in the flesh !

Fantasyblue snowflake for me today !

Well This build started with a dial that i never ordered and came in a package of parts that i ordered ,it sat in my parts box for over a year as i am mostly into vintage builds this dial just looked to modern to use in any build most of you will have seen my tudor blackbay fantasy or homage build , so after purchasing a ceramic case set from a member here (Watch parts for sale ) cheap i was going to build a project x type milsub using helenarou logos t dial , my watchmaker friend andreas (George loiz ) member wanted to make the crown guards pointed similar to the pelagos tudor sub, then we decided to use this blue tudor flake dial ,i then ordered a parnis full ceramic insert hoping that the blue colour will match the tudor blue dial next i wanted a true ETA movement in this build so i bid on a rado 2836-1 eta i won it for 50 usd very clean and super condition so we got the ball rolling keeping in mind this is a low budget build and because it is a fantasy build no stress or worry trying to make it like the gen , and the best thing is there is no gen to compare it with which makes it also unique so here are some photos , i wanted to fit it to the sterile bracelet it came with but the lug holes will not match up with the the bracelets . Specs Case origin parnis ( I believe as parnis has a much thicker case than the gen ceramic case) purchase from RWG member Devilseam along with other parts Thanks my friend ! Dial (can not remember mabe rafflestime) Movement second hand Eta (rado ) 2836-1 cal Fully serviced by andreas Helenarou snowflake hand set Full ceramic bezel from ebay parnis watch seller Total cost Under 140 usd Crown guards pointed similar to the tudor pelagos by andreas bezel edge polished case sides brushed Thanks to Andreas for helping me put this watch together ,lets post some of your own fantasy watches !!!

MY KINDA MOVIES I LOVE CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD .

Very nice indeed

You are correct ! i dont usually obsess about cgs but i notice that many member place a lot of importance on them ,i would love to see some clear photos of the gens when they were new from different angles .

Thanks jerkstore !

Well looking at your crown guards my yuki case cgs look more like freddys than the others so over all the thickness is good !!! many thanks !

Thank you kind sirs !! Hey Nanuq they look like they been chewed by a polar bear ! now that is what i call an aged watch well mabe its not the age but the mileage ?

The Big wait ! i am tired of waiting hope it turned out to be a super watch !!!

I decided to buy my first yuki 5513 case but the crown guards seem off, the crown guard side of the case is finished with a slight inverted curve instead of flat i have started to refinish the none cg side to soften the case i will post some photos as soon as i can I purchased a nice 5513 dial from a member here which has dial feet for a eta movement we have tried to fit the dial to an old 2472 movement but the dial feet are off by 1mm so looks like they may have to be cut and im waiting for the gen crown and tube to arrive My first 5513 was a cartel 1680 from puretime which accepted the 26mm dial although my 1680 from trusty would not ,i am using a series of wet n dry from 800 grade to 2,000 grade then finishing off with autosol metal polish although i may leave the finish up to 2,000 grade to dull the factory finish the overall look of this build will be none aged for a contrast to my well aged 5513 !
