Thanks B! Gen parts: 127 high-hat Lumi service dial and hands silver date-disc 1570 movement crown and tube/24-703, 24-7030 bezel and insert 93150 bracelet and 580 end-links 2mm spring bars non-gen 1:1 case of unknown origin but purchased from a well respected gen collector on RWG.

I appreciate that A. Could be a while before mine is off the wrist! lovin' that silver date-wheel

Celebrating my 3 year anniversary as a RWG member with a new friend. Without the help from this great community this would have never been possible. I think it was Stephane's inspiration and alligoat's beautiful franken that convinced me to build this 1680 white. With parts help from JoJo35 and Justasgood along with the Zigmeister's patience and masterful orchestration of all the lovely bits; this project is complete. Countless e-mails for suggestions and advice were unselfishly responded to by toomuchgear, FxrAndy, deltatahoe, jmb, stilty, ubiquitous, Ronin, freddy333, Big Crown, alligoat. cats, mzimand and bklm1234. My heart-felt appreciation and thanks go out to all of you. A dead camera battery has limited my pictures to just a couple but there will more to come>

That is one sweet watch Ubi. Great work so far Slartibartfast!

@ Ubi. Gen spring bars are what I am using along with fresh and minty Gen 580 end-links. I an anxious to try the lug cleaning test but alas, I broke my spring bar tip whilst I was attaching the bracelet last evening. @ JoJo. The photos are forth coming. I just need a little time after work to snap a few and write a proper post.

Thank you kind sir!

I was wondering if an eta could be used in a 1500 case. Beautiful work ChiMan!

I have some parts

should the bit enter through the outside of the lug pushing inward?

This is a high quality sub case that was stowed away in a veteran members parts bin. All my genuine parts fit this case perfectly.

Strange that one spring bar head is visible.

Thanks J. Does Lowes or Home Depot carry the pin-vise?

Very nice pick-up W! Heck, the movements alone are fetching a grand these days. Wear it in good health.

Greetings all, Just attached an oyster bracelet to my new sub; which has lug holes. The head of the spring bar is only visible through one of the four lug holes. Is this a matter of taking a little material out of each lug hole? or is it a spring bar issue? Thanks for any advice, vlydog

I have a set of NOS Lumi snowflake hands.

Wow S, Just when the blood has returned to my head, you pull these out!

Best wishes go out to HikeUSA celebrating his 10th birthday today. All the best, F!

S, I think this would be a great project. From where I'm sittin' the dial you have looks great. Has it been re-lumed?

Here it is!

Where's my swoon emoticon?

Passed on the vintage Rolex for this:

Nice looking strap. This medium brown color seems to work so well with the black dials of most Panerai watches.
