Ephry73

I have one of those faded to white white

There's a PDF floating around with all of the parts laid out in exploded form. I think the train is held in by three screws

The oyster bracelet is always a nice option. Rugged and classy. I bought links from a 9315 but need to find te centers to put it all together. My 5514 will one day rise again. For the 5514 there is a nylon AP bund that looks really good

That is indeed submariner porn. That cappuccino lume color is ridiculous

Looks good. Do they still offer this case?

I have a folded 7836/93150 hybrid on the 5514 case. Not 100% correct, but it works. if you could find a 9315 you'll be OK. There is always the NATO strap, or even a Tropic rubber strap. E

The pictures alone would be nice for a coffee table book for sure E

Wow wow wow. Inspirational is just not good enough an expression. Amazing. Thanks for sharing man. Ubi, will you ever have PDFs of all of you builds and tutorials?

Ubi, I loooove that watch! I cannot wait to finish mine. Yours is inspirational for sure. Wearing my gen 7002 today

Looking good red. Nice parts bin

You're definitely looking at a long term/high(read very high) expense. Budget out the parts and prices, then compare that to the purchase of a gen. See which one YOU think will work better for you in the long run. I have not seen any 3035 movements for less than $1000 that did not require labor and service, and even at that, you'd still want any movement serviced before you pop it in your project. If you have most of the parts and you want a watch that is uniquely yours and it is something special to you, go for it man. It will be nice. However, if you just want a nice tool watch that you can wear on special occasions and still have a 666, then be patient and get the gen, then service it (make sure you keep the dial,hands and other things intact) It is a tough choice, but if you have the money and time..... E

Case is nice though.

Very nice. E

666 early matte dial is the way to go for me. Working on two right now. Great looks and great combination of both modern and classic design. Kinda like the 16800 but meaner! E

That looks gen to me Awesome. I need to find something like that for those "non-strap" moments

Ebzen, how was the Opus? E

There's a 666 bezel and insert on eBay right now. Great find man

Very very nice. Keeping it simple here. 6263 beater on NATO.

Do the crystals interchange? If so, I would swap the left crystal onto the right watch and call it good. Fix the pearl on the bezel insert and you will be ok. E

Did the stock 666 crystal have AR? Just curious. E

As long as the movement works correctly and it doesn't fail. That should be more than ok. However, all of us have some form of OCD, so I get it. ' E

Ok, so I'm wearing the 6263 again. Will hate to sell this one for sure. Thursday black it is.

The lugs look to be the wrong shape as well as the case. Definitely big, definitely not Daytona/Rolex

I think Phong sells them

6239 on grey NATO today.
