hi,
the strap is a caitlin II from peter gunny (today i'd take the 74 serie)
Gunny Straps
The stem was a challenge. I have two of them but the thread is too short, so i modded a 6497-stem to fit into the molnija movement
regards, merlin
finally got the rmcsherry-dial and worked a little bit on it to get the desired look . here are two quick wristshots (the 2nd one is without flah). happy x-mas to all of you!
I bought the movement from a trustworthy seller and I'm sure no a7750 is close to the swiss one. I don't have to care when I wind my watch by crown. also I have no problem using the chrono as often I want to. and mine keeps perfect time. And if I have any problem with it I can take the movement out and give it to any watchsmith for a service
step by step I built my dream-watch.
I got it as a low beat v1 from trusty in july 07. the first thing to do was to swap the a7750 with a gen swiss ETA7750 from ebay and install german eta day and date wheels from cousins.
than jakub appeared with his AR-service and I joined his 3rd run and received a nearly invisible crystal.
I've been happy with it for a year now - but one thing was still missing: the lume!
Today I installed vaccum's superlumed hands and dial. wow!
Now it's time to enjoy the Flieger and the next days it won't get off my wrist
two quick shots of my all-time favorite (lume-shot is "untouched" except cropping)
all comments are welcome.
allways wanted to have this kirium since the first time i saw it. bought it a couple of years ago. i still wear it sometimes and i love it. but nowadays i'd buy a senna-link or the 2000 aquagraph
