Thanks! It was a lot of work, but worth it, I agree the smaller cg changes the whole watch! I'm happy with the final result, thankyou

I had a DSN 52mm egi and loved the way it looked, the proportions are great, it's just the entire watch was generally too big for my wrist.\ So I took a stock 47mm and converted it to a more gen like appearance . Bezel rounded/ markers rounded / polished Smaller crown guard Case reshaped heavily to fit cg Custom dial/ redrilled dial dots bigger Plated hands silver to match case Bigger secs hand Gunny MI3 strap/ if you've never had a gunny you are missing out. Few pics of mods and final watch. Stock and finished \ \ \ \ \ \ }

Wow.

Nice, I like the variation an a theme .

Isn't that 26.5 then? I'm a bit confused now ..

Just to confirm... The raffles case is the silix case. The case from onlinestorehk HK is different (requires smaller dials) coin edge is different.

Whaaa ... Great looking watch.

Amazing!

Chamfered a little today also.

I see it now, thanks

Love my dials... Great work

Amazing.

Thanks Yes I'm happy with the final result ! I've had a lot of ppl asking about the dial... It's amazing, I'll be sending another you're way when I can get the 3-6-9 as I want it ! Cheers Thanks! Ty! Lol ...Yeah... I'm working on it

Got my 6538 together, I always drool over some of the high quality builds here.. Great source of inspiration, anyways here's my first of a trio I'm getting together.. (I didn't bevel this case, my next case has beveled edges ) Daz dial age/relume MD2020 serviced Swiss movement Necky drilled lugs/tap crown and assembled I nickel and brass plated the bezel. Sternkreutz plexi Yuki pearl Ayatha crown/tube Raffles insert Silix case/ from years ago.. Hands are a mixture , plated n aged by me Cartel bracelet Turned out a belter, just wish I could take pics it deserves Anyway here iPhone shots. Also have another in the pipe FULL tropic which Akira just sent me pics of the dial, almost peed me pants can't wait :thumbup: Gen pic^

I use this method

You can buy a whole box full off different sized springbars for less than $10 on eBay..

I have an unworn red one if you're interested.

I hope it continues...

It's so minimal .. I presume it's from Toro... Those nails.... I'm sure you can get another.

yeah I might try it out Thanks for the help

http://bit.ly/1bMUmpS There's this, seems a little chunky.. and change clasp. But then I'm @ a price I may as well just not bother with it.. How would a 19mm look on a 20mm ? Would changing endlinks look stupid? Maybe a19mm gen I dunno

Just found it... How disappointing, guess ill have to put up with a cartel for now until there's a better option. Ty

Ty mike, did you fit a gen clasp on you're rivet? Just wondered what the quality is like from ndt as I've never bought anything of them.

Has anybody had any experience with the NDT rivet bracelet?http://ndtradingcorp.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=199 Yuki has discontinued theirs. Only other option is cartel but the screws in the rivets I don't like, and the clasp is not right. Apart from gen is there anything else for a decent price? Cheers
