Here it is, First thing that will disapear real quick as soon I will get this watch.

Yes, you can go with the clark crystal. It has the same specs as a gen T19. Just need to trim the crystal retaining ring or crystal a bit to fit. You can dremel the crown down 1 mm. Makes a hell of a difference. Hands, TC hands are best for ETA movements. Need to be relumed to match the dial color.

Yes, too thick.

Yes, on the latest batch the AR coating is great, the second hand (actually all hands) is perfect. Only the crown is still to big.

Hmm, I normally never respond to things like this but..... I see it this way, the review of Arkon is not at all a review. His intentions may have been to wright one but it is more a write off of frustrations about something not complying to his imagination/expectation. Something you should do in a PM to the seller. On the other hand, if I where the seller here, I would be dissapointed (at the least) too and would have responded. Nuff said, let it rest.

Hambone, I hope you do not clean your watches that often. It will kill you! ;-)

You can buy date wheel overlays from TC or BK. Try cosins Uk or Ofrei for the higher cannon pinion or........ Get yourself a 2836-2.

Love what you did to the dial and hands.

Got a problem, on both movements the pin on witch you put the seconds hand on broke as soon I touched it. This makes the movements worthless. Had to order two new ones from Ken. This will slowdown the project.

Wow, a lot of work went in this build but the outcome will be great.

Here are two with a Bezel (I know it is a Sub Bezel)

Here we are, allmost done with the case. Need to polish a bit more.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Here you are :-)

And that mod is ........ A relume with C1 Superluminova from Tritec on the triangle and the 3, 6 and 9 indexes. After this mod these indexes will have the same color and lume intensity as the allready great hands. Before the where greenish with less intensity.

Mine say's hello Doc. Altough this is a fully modded SSD V2.

Haha, good to see you like it. To bad that Josh is out of these watches right now. They are great to be used as an cheaper alternative of the MBW cases.

Thanks ZK. Thanks to the workshop that the "master" made and you, who was so kind to point me in that direction made it possible to come this far. Need to finalze and polish it the coming day's.

A better pic.

I am almost done now :-)

Got it now :-)) Back to the shop again.

Thanks ZK. Back to the shop I went. Getting closer?

Dial has been relumed. This one will glow in the dark!

The case modding starts. First the rough outline of material that has to go. After one hour with the Dremel the first result. Still in unpolished shape. What do you guy's think? Am I getting the shape of a 1675?
