Thanks for the kind words everyone...and yes Jmb does wonders..doesn't he!
This watch has been through so many changes and levels, other than my new gifted 702 that might go on it....I think I'm done.
Look what I found in an envelope in my mailbox today..
A real-live-gen 702 with tube! The kindness here is overwhelming when you really think about it
Thanks ubi for all the knowledge and generousity of parts and things!
Thanks Jmb for all your wisdom and expert skills!
Thanks to all of you for sharing all the watches, stories, and tips!
This started out as a 5512 and was my first real project.
Off it went to Jmb and a small pile of parts. J did his thing and it came back really nice.
Mods were: Gen T19, gen crown/tube and lugholes drilled with 2mm bars. It's been my pride & joy for a long time
Then I found a gen Tudor dial and a gen insert...so off to Jmb again..... for engraving and redial!
Here it is today!
I have to say I would not have been able to have done this by myself. Thanks to all of you here that donate their knowledge and time!
