  1. This is a PCG build I did a while back using a 1680 case: http://rwg.cc/index.php?/topic/169433-5513-PCG-Odyssey
  2. The Yuki coronet on the clasp was bugging me, so I had a bash at reshaping it with a diamond file. The original Yuki on the left compared to the gen: After reshaping, not perfect but at least an improvement:
  3. Yeap, I used a Yuki on my metres first build. Here it is next to the feet first build.
  4. Picked up the dial next door from Prohunter, here's the link for further info: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=260313 A Yuki dial would be a good alternative: http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/8677972/9758644.htm

  10. Thought I may as well exchange the 80 endlinks with a set from MQ I had knocking around as I wasn't happy with the originals from Yuki. It's a tricky job but managed fairly well. First I dismantled the Yuki endlinks. Massage the springbar retainer until it can accept gen-spec springbars. Reassemble by slipping the springbar retainer though the MQ endlink. Carefully fold back the springbar retainer around the last bracelet link bar. I masked everything off while doing this, using various screwdrivers and pliers to get everything back in place. So, endlink revision done. Not something I intend to do a again in a hurry.
  11. Thanks Bart. Judging by your fantastic lug chamfering skills it won't be problem for you.
