Finally an understandable explanation on "how gilt is made". A picture says more than 100 words.

The 15202 is for sure a beautiful model.
-
mid-font / 80s / "mkIV" or whatever it might be called would explain the boxy 4, sorry for letting this go out of topic btw...

+1 on keeping the dial as it's a beautiful variation (if you're not anxious about being "called out"). Before deciding on gen dial for mine, I considered this exact one (was also searching for a decent Tiffany, which is yet another variation).

Lovely pcg! Like the effect of the sd plexi and the 700 crown - and of course also the case work. Noob question from me who still am poor at inserts, what type is the one you have here? A couple of ref pics:

A franken vintage Daytona build is generally one of the most complicated and most expensive projects you can do around here - and this piece I dare to say is one of the best ever completed. So basically, as far from OTB as you can get.

Last answer I got from Natalie was 4th Dec (on a request I sent mid Nov).

Very impressed about how SSTEEL has handled this so far (taken over overdue work from msm1). -

Lol, this is the fifth time I'm visiting this thread. Kind of wish it was a sales thread too

Amazing 1680, one of the best I've seen here. Did the gen datewheel fit the as movement without mods and did you have to cut the dial feet for the gen dial?

Some inspiration to you from my library (first is gen, then it's irate03 and other fellow forum members):

Gens from that period vary to some degree regarding lume color nowadays. Would pass the question back at you, any gen ref pictures from that era that you especially fancy? Based on that, I think you can get more detailed help here regarding lume type and applying techniques.

How does the JF bridge stampings look like - better/worse than on the Noob movement? At least for me that could be an easier tell than second hand sweep speed.

Just received my PAM 111 Noob (and later 372 + 113)

I'd assume he by service meant a proper disassembly of the movement, cleaning of the parts and after that lubrication and tuning (typically with help of a timegrapher). Re waterproofing I'd dare to say that all better reps can be waterproofed, at least to 3 atm. Greasing of gaskets, installation of new/extra o-rings are a couple of actions. Note, say above being far from a watchmaker as you might understand -
I've sent 4 e-mails during the last 6 months, we'll see if he answers...

Rolex Milgauss 1019 Caset project interest.....
ogladio replied to rolojack's topic in The Rolex Area
Sure hope your maker gets his s@% together! Have been thinking a lot about this project lately, the 1019 is a great watch design. -
Thank you for the review! I thought especially the macro comparisons to gen were very helpful. How old is your Yuki? There have been some reportage on quality difference between older and newer batches (say last 6 months or so - in between they were sold out for like a year iirc).
-
Thanks cc! You saved me both time, effort and funds there (even though it seems those hands are sold now). Kind of hope that a 15xx series don't show up in the future - think and pray I can live with the minute hand not touching the minute marker Out of curiousity - could you care to explain a bit about the evolution of explorer hands and compare to say sub hands?
-
Was it crazy to even consider buying this long minute hand set for 500 euros?
