Nicely done comparison. I agree with this guy ^^ Even if you had a gen everyone would think it was fake because they're so rare. So screw the tiny flaws!

On a jubilee!

Amazing build on that sort of budget, good on ya and thanks for sharing too

Thanks! I just put in a new sternkreuz service crystal yesterday too. It looks so much better now! And it doesn't scratch as easily as the original one.

Fantastic budget build! $215?!? You know what that means, right? You need an Athaya 702 crown and tube. They're only $35, and that will keep you at the $250. The beauty of that crown and tube is the 702 is shorter than a 703. It will help balance out those Cartel crown guards.

Once again, beautiful build. Enjoy it!

Do I find Athaya products on homage forum?

Like it Jimbo and for the price of the build even more!

Thanks! And now that I think about it, it was probably closer to $215.

This is a Snowflake budget build that I completed about two weeks ago.  It was meant to be a project that could be completed for under $250.  Sooo, that meant I was unable to do some of the more detailed things like the engraved caseback, gen spec 580 end links, send out to get case reshaped etc.  But I think it looks great for the investment and it accomplishes exactly what I was looking for.  

 

The parts are:

 

Case:  cartel 5512

Hands: raffles 

Dial: raffles

 

I haven't aged this one apart from a little bit of hour marker aging which can't really be seen in the pics.  I plan on doing the insert sometime soon.  But for now, I;m enjoying the new old stock look.  Next build will be a Tudor 7922 big crown!  I'm excited about that one as well!

 

 

 

 

Jesus, that is perfect.  I haven't seen any other white dial 6542's!

Good choice going with the red depth rating!

This is truly amazing work.  It's incredible what you guys are capable of in this hobby..

I think that if a quality rep lasts 4-5 years it's definitely worth $350. And if you're lucky, it'll last much longer than that!
