Merlin

had some time left, so i took out the macro-lens again

you're on the right direction, mate. looks good so far, just a little bit less red and it looks even better

just do it!!

The watch looks outstanding...great dial-color and that strap is top-notch and makes the whole combo look REAL!

Let us know about that strap please...

Theo

P.S.: I am waiting for my RMCS dial as well....will make a pretty nice watch.

P.P.S.: Where did you get that stem to fit the Molnija movement and that crown????

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

i know the pannies have a good name and are very well built - but what the f** is up with these guys selling a quartz alarm clock for 2600??????

and you like that old watch?

i don't like it - i love it!!

here are some better pix:

still searching for a "brevettato"-caseback

thx for the kind words.

Once I've worked out the best way to thin out the text, I'll let you know! Merry Christmas.

this would be great - then the dial would be over the top

can it be that VDB is the reincarnation of guido panerai??? great watch, great work.

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!

wow - a really high class collection. i like your family

i like the 5218-201/A best.

enjoy this timepiece! it's a great watch (i know it )

Well that is very bizzare, but actually good to hear. Simply because it's a real bear to try and lume the subdial hands on this model. From now on I won't be luming the subdial hands.

Wonder what the logic was in luming the chrono seconds hands, but not the subdial markers? It really doesn't make much sense.

RG

also the chrono second hand isn't lumed

for the next days 3717u

u... stands for "ultimate"

Very nice! Think I'd have that on a strap as well.

What grade of ETA7750 did you install? I'm not convinced a C grade is any beter than the A7750. 'specialy used. You'r braver than me buying a &&50 off the bay. You would realy want to know the seller, and where he lives!

Col.

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

The chrono hands are not supposed to be lumed?

no, the chrono hands are not lumed. the gen looks exactely the same at night

Looks great! I think I have to give Vac some money soon.

yes - in times of economic crisis you should invest into something stable: bright lume!!!

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

wow - once again a masterpiece. even the position of the hands is the same as on the gen

for saturday night my superlumed-nocti 177h

serious now. For me there's only one address

Cousins UK

at Binford. Ask for Tim Taylor!
