Nice!

I opened it up and found the start/stop and reset levels all out of whack. Slid all back into place and it works again! However it is poorly constructed and undoubtedly a time bomb. Need to keep my eyes open for a replacement.

So the chronograph on my dw 6239 finally quit. Still keeps time but chronograph have out. Should I look for another a7750 or look for a gen Swiss 7760 or.....? I LOVE the watch so I can't give up on it.

Looks great. Seriously. I would be plenty happy with that.

In total honesty, I vastly prefer my DW over this.

I honestly think if it is just a smidge deeper you have nailed it, and I bet you achieve that with this current spring because it isn't that far off...at least from my unprofessional, aging eyes on a photo viewed from my iphone. [emoji2]

Excellent!

Wow. You are damn close now! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

3 beauties!

Thanks guys. I am really impressed with this watch. I think I will ride this Movt until it gives out and then hunt down a gen Swiss and pay for a full manual conversion. I think this watch is worth it. Even nicer than I expected. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

And I have to say, I LOVE IT! So much I am contemplating a gen swiss 7753 down the road. It currently is a7750 with rotor removed. Anyone know where I can find the thicker DW caseback? If I go gen 7753 I would just assume leave it auto wind as I don't like hand winding watches not designed with that in mind.

Should be no springs on a 1665, unless Yuki has done something funky.

Your attention to detail is spectacular. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Very nice Justin! The hard work was worth it!

I would say go for lighter engravings. So many vintage Rolex are almost impossible to even see the engravings anymore after years of bracelet rub etc. Great work!

Hi Freddy.....how about movement thickness and stem height? Did you have to make any modifications to the case in that respect?

The DWO is a gen date wheel though, which is awesome!

I would love to know this too. Looks like the movement is considerably thicker than the ETA 2836/46 with different stem height as well (not to mention slightly wider). Can't see it fitting in with proper stem height or caseback closing without a lot of work. Would love to know though because the thought of a gen-like lower beat combined with gen date wheel direction is VERY appealing.

Really nice work. Looking forward to what movt this is. Nice that the date wheel goes in same direction as Rolex!

Wile E. Coyote. Genius!

Congrats! Will be very interested to follow what you do with it and what kind of work is entailed. Keep us posted.

I got the buckle from Yuki. They were out forever but back in stock.

Don't see the strap anymore on Etsy but found a website for the maker. http://blackforest-atelier.com/?lang=en
