Hi Dizz, The case is close, where it's off are the sides are a little bulbous. The bezel is way off unfortunately and I'm going to tackle that next. I also had to sand down the height of the crystal quite a bit for a lower profile. All in all its a nice budget project.

Good idea CBR! I hadn't thought of that I've used pelican cases for years for rifles and pistols.

Yes, I'd like to know where you got the folded aftermarket bracelet too? Your project is coming together nicely Divano. Thanks!

Iceberg, you got it -a Capecod. Thanks!

I kinda forgot, so much for a few days.... Here's an updated pix with drilled out lug holes for 2mm spring bars. Here's a gen shot for comparison with the hole placement.

Orange Hand today

This a great thread, keep them coming everyone! Great U2 Bazz

Thanks Jojo! It's a Tropic 19.

Nanuq, I'll trade ya for something with Red in it, or should I say Double Red.

DT, I'm worried about you!!! I'd like to finish this project over the summer For the wish list; I'd love to see a JLC Grande Automatique.

Did someone say snowflake How about a superdome shot

Sweet, keep us up to date on your mods! The hands and crystal replacement on the 1655 makes a huge difference.

Hmmm..... a 1655 perhaps? Vintage

Great choices Lanikai! Today I needed a wrist workout Tomorrow - 6152 on a GeF La Spezia

Yesterday Today

Stephane, Great results on your 5513, I love your collection!!! Thank you for sharing and enjoy them.

Doxa's are fantastic watches and good value for the money IMO.

Today

1655 for tomorrow

You want something like a 2846 ETA with a slow beat rate. MBK cases are made for an ETA movement while the NDT or Vietnamese made cases are made for gen movements (not to mention you can buy several MBK watches for one NDT case). You have to be careful with the ETA in a Vietnamese case since the stem does not align in the same place as a Rolex 15xx mvmt, so there is some stress on the stem. Good luck on the project and keep us updated!

Hmmm, 7928 caseback and pointed crown guards, I could be wrong but I don't think 7016/0 had pointed guards. A 7928 with those cg's seems correct. What do you think Q?

Yes, I'm glad I got mine when I did

Congrats RH, that's a 7016/0 -Q is right, I hope its a gen, some more pix would be great. If its all genuine it would probably fetch between $1800-$2500.

Speedmaster today and a new pix
