Today 1655 vintage.

Happy Easter

Yes...definitely, respecting the measurements of the original. Thanks Jack and Happy Easter.

Hi Jack...[emoji106] Here the pics of mine... I couldn't identify it.

Thank you Jack... Explained well for my curiosity. I have the dial and the hands that you sold me (26mm) but that I could not use in my case which accepts a 29mm dial. I assume the case is that of Raffledials.

Very nice piece. Hello dear Jack... Do you rmember me if dial is 29mm or 26,2mm? Is that sort of gray circular ring around the dial an effect of the plexy? Or a reducer ring? Thanks.

Rustic GMT....I would say 🤣

Swap hours

Thanks mate Jack...🤨

I agree in your thought. Indeed making a build with Seiko part is very versatile and therefore fun. It is used to gain experience in more ambitious projects

ù Sorry for too many photos. I'm sorry ... but I made a mistake in the way of uploading the photos. Then it wouldn't let me make the changes.

Hello lads. I'm not one to do many builds, but so far I'm probably on my 15th or 20th build. This is an idea with bits and pieces gleaned here and there but mostly on Ali. I hope it is pleasing to your keen and witty eye. After the completion I decided to touch up the edges of the lugs, because I don't like them, thus giving them a small rounded look.

Thank you for link... new info about this brand. cheers.

Wow...you got a good deal.... Look here how much it costs... https://www.etsy.com/it/listing/1312856969/ball-hamilton-999b-railroad-pocket-watch I love pocket watches too....here's a Hampden Mc Kinley.

Thanks mate. Your explanation is very comprehensive. It denotes good knowledge in the parts you use for builds. However your speech convinces me to buy from Raffle ... certainly cheaper. Maybe I'll sell Yuki's 5517 and 1655 dials that I no longer need. Returning to the primary topic of additional shipping costs, I believe that globalization has increased the business of shipping companies ... and as with everything, the more demand increases and the more we get to exaggerated costs (often even higher than the value same as the goods).

Probably all of us fans of this hobby let ourselves be conditioned, that buying expensive is the best way to get the most perfect builds possible. For example, some time ago I bought a 5517 Yuki dial (26mm), but just a few days ago I realized that it doesn't fit the case which instead fits a 29mm dial. So I'll have to get another dial from Raffle...that's 29mm. But frankly I'm not sure I have the best. What do you think?

It is becoming unsustainable .... by now even buying from abroad on Ebay involves paying tax after tax, which in my opinion is unjustified.

Hello Mate... I am a fan of 1655. I'll put you a link where maybe you can find the solution. I hope. http://www.jewelryandwatch.com/contents/en-us/d223_Explorer_II.html I made two pieces without taking into account the OEM specifications. But certainly the hands like the dial have a very important aspect for the success of the build. Here are my two.

I hug you friend ... I dare not imagine what you think. It is unfair that we should leave this world for incurable diseases. An example of this is my compatriot Vialli who, at the age of 58, just today flew to another world. 😢
