@Vibes I used a 25-12 on my 1002 case for a 5500 Explorer build. [emoji632]

Perfect ! Just received this Neewer 52MM Kit Macro Close-up. Thanks !

@Mysharona Nice [emoji1303] Totally forgot this thread. Here is my contribution And my little fantasy... [emoji632]

I'm tired of over aged insert those days. I feel better with a new Yuki. It's perfect ! I still had an Athaya pearl, but I lose it on the carpet while manipulation. It's the first time I loose a part in a year of builds. Arrrgh ! And I love those new Yuran straps ordered for my 1675. They add a little touch of fun. [emoji632]

Your opinion is greatly appreciated mate. I know it's a bit pristine but I'm not very handy in aging parts. Tried to age hands with salt & vinegar without success. If someone have good tip to age hands I take it ! [emoji632]

Thanks ! The better dial is still shipping from Lanzhou [emoji632]

Manipulate and place the pearl on the insert hole is a bit tricky. I was afraid to twist the insert. So here is the first update already. Athaya pearl and OnlinestoreHK white lollipop lumed to match. [emoji632]

Bienvenue ! [emoji632]

As suggested by@DVNE, I replaced the pearl by an Athaya and put some vintage colored lume to match. I found it quite difficult. What is the best way to do it ? I also changed the gold second hand with a white lollipop.

@spazthecat I start with a dial pics and redraw it with photoshop tools. [emoji632]

Forgot to mention the stem extension in the parts list. A tap 7 (1.2mm) to tap 10 (0.9mm) is necessary. [emoji632]

@Sogeha Thanks my friend ! Hope to see your build soon [emoji632]

Now I need to find the inner and outer diameters of it. I will ask MY. Thanks ! [emoji632]

@nanuq was not it a Michael Young T19 ? [emoji632]

@jackflash Thanks ! [emoji632]

I need advises how to remove the lume from the pearl please. [emoji632]

Yes it's planned. Tried a sternkreuz HW 304, but it don't fit tight on mid case neck. I don't want to use glue. [emoji632]

@mir36 Tonny case Gen tube and crown Clarks Tudor (or JK, I can't remember) hands ETA 2824-2 Gold leaf gilt dial. @revere I will make another dial. [emoji632]

And don't forget the ultimate Mercedes hands comparison thread. Clark's Tudor are the best choice for ETA [emoji632]

Yes ! I use those from Clarks or JKHorological (same hands) for all my builds. I use Tiger lollipop for second. See my builds [emoji632]

Some adjsutement to do. Pearl lume, lollipop hand, dial without scratch @4. But I can wear it now ! [emoji322] [emoji632]

One of the most delicate parts of the assembly. Stem and stem extension sizing [emoji632]

It's never ending Don't know for the case back, but you should use Clark's Tudor hands instead of Tiger Concept. [emoji632]
