@sogeha I find you have already been all of the places I end up going. And after some of these photos I feel like I need to tackle a 6538. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Decided to gut the date components from a tissot 2836 which will give it 2824 stem height and h4 pinion height. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Right, I just got a good deal on a few movements. I’ll end up low beat eventually. I have a 5512 in the works with a 2522 in it for proper beat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Thought about that combination but for a late 80’s it should be a solid link not folded. I still may try it. Do you have a photo of yours? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Got the JMB case with R59 serial for 1988. I need to get some better fitting end links. I’ll be using a hollow end link converted 93250 bracelet so I’ll need a correct clasp as well. This will have to do until I can find a 78360 bracelet.

I don’t know too many sources yet, still new to this part of the watch game. I’ll keep a look out in the sales areas but other than that idk where to find rep dials. Yuki, Ruby’s, Raffles... that’s about where I know to look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
Thank you for the input and the sources. I’m building it with a JMB case and eta. Possibly 2846, I just need to decide on which dial I want to go with. So far I haven’t found any that are lumed how I’d like so I will likely have to get the dial and hands relumed. Are Yuki dials worth the price? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
I am going to be building a 1016 and need to decide on a serial number/year. I am curious how to create a serial number to reflect a certain year any advice? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
JKF case, WSO bezel assembly, sternkreuz t19, athaya crown, and an eta 2836. Turned out pretty nice thanks to info here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
