@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.

What’re the details on this? 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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Perfect, I’ve used those before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Which clark hands did you use? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Exactly what I’m looking for. Aged lume at all or white? Hard to tell. Also, where’d you get the bracelet? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

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

Ignore that, I reached out to the seller for Clark’s and he will have the assemblies around the end of next week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just ordered the sternkreuz t19 303 to try out. Thanks again for the info! I found that the wso bezel won’t snap onto the retainer.. waste of money. Are the Clark’s assemblies on E bay?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

30.1 is what I have I believe. I’ll look for that crystal and go from there. The 30.38 would work without much modification though on the ofrei t-19 or even a Clark’s i think. I’ll keep that info for future reference. Do you know of another source for bezel assemblies besides wso? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anybody here have experience fitting a wso bezel assembly to a cartel case? If so, what crystal could you recommend. This is a JKF 5513 stamped 1680 on the case. I’ve gone through the ofrei t-19’s and a Clark’s so far. The original setup was glued in place, crystal and retainer were both glued to the case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your original 5513 is currently undergoing a transformation. First attempt at crown guards tonight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can your share the details of this? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t have an answer for you BUT.. Could you add a few more pics and details? Which 5513 did you go with? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I received this Monday and noticed after having it on the wrist for a bit. Can the markers be straightened or should I start trying to source a new dial? Look at 6 o clock Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
