Looks pretty good. Bezel work came out nice. Lug holes do look too large.

Great Sunday morning read.

Hey S. Looks great man. You really scored on the dial and hand set. Really like the plots and color. Congrats[emoji322] Now the big question: bracelet or leather?

^^^no doubt, that is a rare beauty there.

I searched all over WA for a good watchmaker with no luck. I send all my stuff to Matt in Dallas but he is slowing down and not taking new customers. If you do find someone in Seattle let me know.

Nice dial Jack. Look forward to another one of your excellent builds.

Great for you to give her an awesome graduation present. Check the sales area over on TRF. I would guess you can get a better deal through one of the trusted sellers over there. You can also get a good idea of market price even if you buy at your AD. Or if you have a specific model ask one of them to source it for you. I have used a couple guys over there. Pm me if you want names. Good luck man.

Sunny and 17 degrees.

Nope, watches bed is on the winder[emoji99]

@themannier, It a gen from 1970. We built a franken last year but the case is tough to get even close to right.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

@redroom, seafoam It's gen. I got it a couple days after it was released. The rep is out though and looks pretty good. There is a thread next door with some comparison pics.

Ah the Master himself has dropped in. Thank you sir for building her.

First big snow

Awesome build man. Unique and different. Really dig the texture on the dial. Love the dome plexi too. This is one of the coolest builds I have seen. Congrats[emoji106]

Just keeps getting better. That insert is sick. Almost all the numbers are kissing. Awesome example my friend.

Appreciate the civility and demeanor of the thread. No expert on foreign policy, I would suggest that whatever we are doing is not working. A different approach should be an option. I do agree with some others that the current leadership is not managing our affairs effectively, whether that is foreign policy, immigration or the budget (debt). I was not happy with the Iran deal and while not well read on the subject it just seems illogical to send them 150 billion dollars that we do not have along with all the other concessions we made. Pretty frustrating to watch the "news" these days. Not that I am a big believer on what is reported anymore. Tend to view most of what I see as propaganda rather than actual news. I try and find the facts through other sources. Part of me thinks we should just pull out of the east and stop trying to manage them or convert them to our ideology. The other part of me thinks we cannot just stick our heads in the sand and hope that things get better. Pretty mixed thoughts about what needs to happen.

I will.
