    That is a work of art
  4. Make sure the return policy is clear with Yuki if you buy his case. Yuki seems to change manufacturers and recent examples have had angled/ wokky rehaut. If you can find one you might consider and older MBW case. If you have a larger budget consider an Ndt or Phong case set. And if your on a small budget there's always Josh's 5513 to build with. All I'm saying is if you order a Yuki case make sure you can return it if it's not acceptable. This is mine built on an MBW case set
  5. Please do! I might take a plunge
  6. That looks great, look forward to when it's finished.
  7. Can we see the rear and a side view?
  8. I'm sorry, I misread lol I believe in fact for a gen bezel or WSO you will need the gen retainer or WSO retainer. If you have a gen bezel I would seek out the gen retainer. Mismatching with the WSO is a crap shoot from what I've read. Again, sorry for my confusion.
  9. Welcome to the forum. Yes in fact there have been several people that had difficulty getting gen inserts installed. The key word is insert. Do some searches and you will find some of the solutions in the last month. Some guys used a press, some had the problem you describe and I'm not sure that solution. Many just sanded carefully. The problem seems to be from watch to watch. I have a TC coming and I'm hoping I get lucky. Sorry I can't be of more help, there are several threads on this though.
  10. Thanks for the info denim, I figured it would be giant. I can handle 42 usually I saw pics of the gen when it came out, really nice watch
  11. Yep Nanuq...looks like them. I don't know Ephry what they are or where they came from. Jmb/ Nanuq will have to tell us...if they can. For all I know this is all very hush hush.
  12. Modern sapphire SeaDweller is 40mm but it's alot taller/thicker than a sub and it wears bigger. Those are all the same watch, the new superlumed SD. It's a pretty nice watch out of the box. Only mod needed is a gen insert or a wm pearl. The difference between them is just the movement. I think you'll like the SD, your used to your 14060, the SD will feel much bigger and meatier This is that watch, the new superlumed SD I put a gen insert in for a friend.
  13. That's a meaty watch! I like it, was it expensive?

    I've bought two things from Phong, great communications and speedy shipping Oh....killer watch! Can't wait to see pictures when it arrives!
  15. Yep.. that's the one he used on my flake..he calls it "big bertha"
  16. Yeah Nanuq... have you ever seen his crystal press!
  17. It may not be pretty in there...but amazing watches come out of that place.
  18. Lol! That's a funny pic!
  19. The president of Omega watches was just on Fox business news. They were discussing the relevance of wearing a wristwatch today. The host Varny didn't wear a watch and took a studio head count, cameraman, producers etc..and five didn't wear a watch. The Omega president brought a couple with him, a special run Olympics Seamaster Chrono and what looked like a white rail master. He said Omega builds and sells 2000 watches a day The Varny guy was beside himself as he didn't think anyone wore a watch anymore. Another thing...the president of Omega pronounces it Oh-mee-guh. Ive always heard it as Oh-may-guh.
  20. Great pictures guys
  21. Oh I will J! I just can't get over how much better it is after your suggestions and handiwork! Thanks again
  22. A month ago my blue snowflake died so I sent it to the Tudor master Jmb to see what ailed it. I just got it back this morning and I'm beside myself.....it just gets better and better. Really! For several reasons I never bonded with this watch, it looked pretty good in pictures and I got many compliments on it..even offers to buy it. Every time I wore it I would look down at my wrist to admire it and immediately cringe when I saw the dial was canted .5 mm to one side. It was not noticeable until you saw it...then it screamed at me. The Yuki hands were too long also and a few members pm'd me about that too. I decided I would just wear it awhile until I figured out what I wanted to do with. The problem was self correcting, it died. Jmb found a pile of rocks, sand, oil and grease and general sludge inside .... cleaned that out and got her running. Then he asked me to try another set of hands and wanted to know if I wanted the dial realigned. The feet were clipped and the dial glued, while he was in there he got rid of the date detent too. To me, it's a whole new watch with none of the nagging flaws to bother me.. I can just enjoy it for what it is. He matched the hand colors perfect too. Anyway here it is after the repairs and corrections...thanks for reading this! Someday I will get better at pictures MBW case Eta movement-swiss Gen crown/tube Gen T19 crystal Yuki dial, mystery hands-dial lumed by Pbad Gen blue insert with Ofrei pearl All work by Jmb
