That post was from 2011.

Woof nails it.

Jaw is the source, first time dealing with phong and he is very fast with comms, and shipping. Will be interesting to see what it's like when I get it, next question is... Bracelet for this sucker? Anyone have suggestions?

gen 78360 or 93150

DW used to have silver hands. Then he started sending black hands.

If I'm not mistaken, LHOOQ removed the black paint from his subdial hands to expose the silver (whatever they're made of), but then they turned yellow. Both his build threads are very informative and must-reads.

Yuki hands arrived yesterday, I use the hour, minute and orange seconds hand, but keep DW subdial hands?

Looks like your DW subdial hands are black, so you'd be better off using Yuki's thin hands rather than DW's IMO.

I'd also consider luming/painting your dial/hour&minute hands to a more yellow color. That is, if you're serious about this project

I noticed all of the gen dials I've looked at the subdial hands seemed whiter than the hour/ minute..no matter how old and aged.

Subdial hands are always white. They don't have any lume, just paint. Hour/minute hands have tritium, hence why they turned yellow with age.

Shoot me a PM if you're interested in Richie's contact info.

It looks to me as though the outer track is at the same height as the main dial.

I think the outer track is supposed to be sunken

Yes, correct, but no rep Newman dial has this feature (yet).

Dial is very nice. Looks like he fixed the subdial indices issue. Now they go all the way to the end of subdial, like the gen.

Among other things, still a bit too much space between subdial numbers and outer edge of subdial.

Also, T Swiss T is too long. That would be an instant tell.

IMO, hands down the best rep Newman dial currently available.

Pimping! What's up with the power reserve hand? Any reason why you decided to leave it there, instead of all the way to the top?

Nice comp J! Truly minimal difference IMO.

Tried to PM you, but you cannot receive PM's. Do you want to sell one Ingy?

Best, J

J,

I tried to PM you but got no reply.

D:

I'm pretty sure it's gen. At least it's not from Phong.

Not sure how much they're asking for it, but Phong's latest mk4 bezels are superb. Don't take my word for it.

I have to say that the Phong's bezel is pretty impressive, compared to my gen one...

That was Valty via PM.

I'll take some pics and show you. Crappy iphone pics, though.

3717 is probably your best bet.

This is a good read.

+1

Everything is looking great J!

Keep up the good work.

J: what does your case measure from tip to tip? ~43mm? I didn't get to measure it before shipping it to you.

There's another one on eBay that I found the other day.

Went super cheap IMO. Damn auction finished at 8am, and had no more free snipes left.

Nice pic Freddy. Love the 5514.

very nice E!

Which version bp is best with a working power reserve??

None. Working PR versions are not accurate. Get a non working PR version.

Hi,

its MBK from REG with gen dial, insert, crown, yuki pearl and tc hands that i tried to age with stinky cigarette smoke nicotine to match the dial.

Thought so. Very nice!

Very nice!

What's the story behind the 5513?

More Phong cases

What are the measurements of your case from tip to tip, chief?

Yes, Phong has at least 3 cases.

What serial number is your case roli?

Another thing to keep in mind is that most gen cases you see out there have been polished and shape has changed.

Phong cases:

silix and angus both show ss... are they just not updating there stores?

Yes, I think that's the case.

Some springbar bending is required.
