Nice one!

Check out the cake my wife had made for my birthday today.

Nice work. First franken 116613 I've seen done right!

I started this thread almost 9 years ago. It seems he was referring to the Yuki movement we have all grown familiar with. While it's not an 100% clone, it's close and we don't have to cut our dial feet any longer.

I had a rep of this about 20 years ago. I had a local hook up for reps back then. It had a Seiko quartz movement in it. The dial was a dark blue. I believe the watch got lost in one of my moves. I haven't seen it in about 10 years.

Great read. Thank you for sharing!

Looks great!

What a work of art! Great build.

Great work! I want one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I would make sure you are getting what you are paying for. It appears this dial has been heat treated. The lume becoming dried out as it appears in the close up pics. Someone payed some big $$$ for that dial. I would not be surprised to see see a 16550 with that dial in it soon for sale on Ebay.

The dial looks gen, but it appears to be artificially aged to look like a gen cream dial. I have the gen and can tell you it is way off. People are bidding it up... http://m.ebay.com/itm/151952021946

I still have mine and really haven't worn it much. The bezel is very loose on mine but the watch looks great. I should have bought another one or two at the time.
