That is really amazing. It will be the real ultimate. PS: don

Isn't this what they also told about the first ones with the silver date windows? They will change afther some time... Maybe they can show us a pic of the gen

and what's up with the sub-dials? Did they put a ring arround it It should be like this:

Thanks! I like powerful and cheap. Great combo

Thanks chubbchubb but patience is not listed in my vocabulary and there is not much sun these day's I can't remember were I found it but I read an article that this one works great. Isn't UV light just UV light so it will always work or do you need a specific power or so?

Need to install a cyclops and I'm looking for a cheap UV light (probably only use it one time) I found this one but since I have no experience with it, I have no idea what I should look for. http://cgi.ebay.de/15-LED-UV-LASER-Taschenlampe-lampe-Leuchte-flashlight_W0QQitemZ160310508011QQcmdZViewItemQQptZStirn_Taschenlampen?hash=item160310508011&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1229%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 Do you think this will work to cure the UV glue? Thanks for letting me know!

Yep, it's screeming REPLACE ME!!!

Wow.....

Right! I would have taken the risk as well

Great parts man, it will be a wonderful franken one! I have some questions: Will those gen hands fit the asian movement? Can you use the original dial feet with the asain movement? Is it the picture or is there something wrong with the left side of the DSN sub-dial? Very interesting project

I have 3 or 4 to go. (crystal only)

Looks great man. What did your modder do other than the cannon pin? The AR doens't look standard to me.... I also like the strap. Can you tell us what it is?

Oh man... I almost love you pics as much as I love the watch. Really great choise you made there. Have fun wearing it!

Get the AR and the DW done and you have a absolutely lovely watch. I really love it with the croc strap. Great combo with the white stitching. I agree with you about the markers. I don

It looks great man! Nice lume

The crown fits the rep stem. So no problem.

Reluming the hands:

Thanks guess, for all the nice words. I'll promise you, I will wear it well and no

Ok what did I do: Gen Strap Gen Deployment Gen Crown Gen Dial Relumed Hands C1 Chief's AR Raised PR hand. (the standard one is hitting the dial) I think it's quite amazing how detailed the rep parts are. The crown is almost identical and also the dial is pretty close. I made a comparison pic of the rep and gen dial and this is what I noticed. (sorry for the lousy pic) The printing on the gen dial is whiter than on the rep The "IWC" print is a little thinner on the gen. The 8 is different. The hours markers and the triangle are higher on the gen (thicker layer of lume) Of course the lume is much better. Size of the date window, power reserve display, distances etc etc. are spot on. Almost forgot. The feet of the dial had to go so I had to glue the dial on the movement ring. Hope you like it. Cheers Sander

Agree. I think he made a mistake with the 44mm.

I know how frustrating it is. I always start a project as soon as the kids are in bed and work until I can

I think that the 6497-1 movement is a good movement to start working on. My first experience was pretty good although I had 2 little problems. The first one was the missing winding pinion (have no idea where it went) and the second one was that I broke the head off of the crown wheel screw. I didn

How about the PVD ones??? I really like those! Tough decision
