Ohhhhhhhh yes!! Very handsome build! That's one to be proud of.

No worries, any Big Crown is a handsome Big Crown!

Very nice indeed. I finished this one today too.

A file card can help you clean up the threads; if you find a thread bent or crushed and fine hacksaw blade and triangular file can fix it. Good luck.
-
I like how that came together, congratulations!
-
Thank you sir, we'll see how many lives it's got!
-
Oooooooo NICE Tudor!
-
With huge thanks to a VERY generous member here, I can call the Big Gonzo build finished. Thank you!!! ....you know who you are.

Here's mine (but not mine)

Try heating the whole watch and then ice on the caseback? that will free up the threads for sure, but if they're galled then it won't help.
-
Of course it looks great, if you remember, you sent this to me about 2 years ago. Thanks! I've been hanging onto it for this exact moment. PS: the aging process is coming along nicely.

I love the faded red triangle insert, but thought I'd try a different look.

Man that dial background looks like leather. Spectacular!

Yep, about 10 years ago when he showed up with the first vintage Daytonas there was a flurry of activity and parts flew back and forth across the Pacific. Everything was ducky and then he fell off the face of the earth for over a year. He popped up once, disappeared again, then he was back.... like nothing had ever happened. Very odd.
-
That's really spectacular work. Very very impressive! -
Oh yes, very nice!
-
Probably your measurement is better, I had to mess around to try and get the micrometer's jaws in close enough to the bezel and caseback for a realistic reading.
-
Indeed. You think a 551* is thin? Check out its great-grandpa the 6536.
-
I did my best without taking the watch apart. The thinnest point seems to be at the middle, so I measured opposite the crown on the 9:00 side. From the midcase bottom immediately beside the caseback lip to the midcase top right beside the bezel is 5.23mm

Sad story about one of our long term seniors...mikellem

I just bumped him up to VIP for a month with the Boss's tool, that should help with the full PM box problem.
