  1. Curious to know how you messed up the Milgauss bracelet. And what did they charge you for a replacement?
  2. Quality Swiss ETA movements are lifetime movements and don't require constant babysitting. Just routine maintenance. As much as I love mechanical movements I agree that a quartz movement with sweep second hand would be very cool if they would fit cases.
  3. That's very kind of you and I appreciate your offer! I'm a graphics guy and have designed a dial in Illustrator which HR is making. I hope to get it soon. I'm also going to experiment with gilt dials made with decal technique.
  4. Sub V6s A2836 as a base. Removed cyclops. Swapped black bezel for blue. Swapped movement for genuine Swiss ETA 2836-2. Parts obtained from various sources. It's a fun watch to build and I hope to eventually have a custom dial with my name on it.
  5. @ChrisBlank Beat error is the clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation of the balance wheel. With zero beat error both rotations will be equal. Anything below 0.6 is acceptable, but I prefer 0 or close to it. Some people will accept higher values and I'm a hobby watchmaker and not a master, so other opinions will be welcome. For my watches I set timing and beat to a few seconds fast per day @ zero beat error. You will need a timing machine and to learn to make the adjustments. It's delicate and tedious, but fun if you enjoy nerdy things
  6. I would say that movement needs timing and regulation to get the beat error down. 0.5ms is right at the edge of an acceptable limit.
  7. @Mike_GReally nice lume job! Luming indices with a metal border is one thing, but lettering and indices without the border must be very tricky. I'd love to tips on doing this so I could do mine. This looks great!
  8. This might be the funniest thread in the history of forums!
  9. An outstanding project! I really unlike the white dial. Well done! Makes me want to build something similar.
  10. JMB case set w/tube, crown, bezel, and crystal T21 crystal Yuki dial and hands 7206 bracelet from NDT Swiss ETA 2824 running +3 secs Distressing and vintagizing by me
  11. Recently completed 1016 project. Added a 7206 bracelet.
  12. There's nothing not to love about this build. Stunning all the way...congratulations! I'm scared to ask what it would cost to source all gen parts like you've done.
  13. I think so too, Revere. Shiny metal doesn't show contours as well.
  14. Here's one for ya Agreed. The Milgauss is the consummate tool watch. Nothing agains't the polishing, but brushed is so much nicer to my eye, and I think you can see the contours of the steel better.
  15. 3M microfine and ultrafine foam backed polishing pads and good old Scotchbrite.
