Hard to make out any detail. Looking forward to seeing something assembled...

I agree too. That's why i'm asking. I don't want to piece-meal this. B

Hi guys (and gals?), Anyone have a good source for a variety of DECENT caseback O-rings? Every other set seems to be waaay too big with stupid size ranges from tiny to huge (96 pieces, 144 pieces, too thick, too thin). Anyone have luck with a useful set for use in subs and datejusts? Link would be GREAT!!! Thank you for responses, Bob

You mention "kit" several times. Where can we find this "kit"? B

How is this different from any other eta 28XX? B

You are one detailed modder!!! Thanks for that - and congratulations! B

No story needed! Where do I send my money!!! B

Great to see them all though!!!

Hey guys, I've seen one of these posts every once in a while across the fora but nothing recently. Anyone want to show off your work area? May give the rest of us some ideas...mine is strictly budget - but I'll start. B

Super glue gel (gives 10-20 seconds of work time.) Three equi-spaced drops on the outside edge of the movement, then lower the spacer to set. Then same process to attach dial to spacer... B

NICE. Mine should be OTW now. Gen dial, Gen crystal, Gen crown, Gen insert, Gen jubilee... B

I NEED A DIAL WITH WHITE GOLD SURROUNDS!?!?!?!?!? Bob

What if the lume isn't very angry - let alone raging??? B

Water-color markers work great and have boundless flexibility on a finished dial. If you are reluming you can add some pigment from a pastel artist crayon into the lume. Many colors simulation vintage. I just file some dust into the lume when mixing.

With the gold bezel back on it's 16013...with a 1604 bracelet. Correct? @tomhorn B

Well that certainly answers that. Does it look ok? I'm on the fence and they exchange very easily...

I had it set up as a TT with gold bezel...but the bezel didn't look right. It seems "slimmer" somehow... Swapped it back...?

WAIT - I just noticed - NO SCREWS???

Hey guys, Finally finished my latest personal watch - a 1978 16013 TT DJ. It started as a M2M with some issues, but everything finally came together! GEN case GEN caseback GEN engine-turned bezel GEN crown tube GEN gold crown GEN dial GEN hands (Tudor) GEN bracelet GEN clasp The only thing rep is the Selita SW 220 driving it. Now properly mounted and keeping COSC time. I tried a TT Jubilee and a GEN gold beel but it looked too “blingy” for my taste. Let me know if you need a gold bezel... GEN jubilee bracelet came today so if anyone would like to provide input on gen/rep it would be greatly appreciated before I leave feedback! @occb2, @pompompurin, @smoke

Can't image roles making ANYTHING without markings on the movement. Dial is probably gen...

Hmmm. Just ordered one... B

What country?

Yup - too bad...

Josh used to sell cases..."gen spec' but won't anymore...disappointing.
