Hi. I'm pretty new to building/modifying watches, but I am just finishing my first 1601 datejust franken build, and thought I would share my project with you- hoping to get some tips/ providing some pointers from my experience.
I have started another build aswell, and would like to perfect my skills and keep building time pieces with a personal touch :-) this topic will include both projects.
#1:
- genuine 1601 case
- genuine 1601 bezel and acrylic
- genuine Rolex tube and crown
- ETA 2824–2
- genuine blue dial
- Tudor hands
- movement holder raffles time #1 (slightly modified)
- aftermarket leather strap
# 2
- About the same specs but with the pan pie dial
- aftermarket Jubilee bracelet (signed 554)

Just ask me whatever you want, and I will try to help you out if I can. I would gladly share my experiences/provide tips/pictures/explanations if it could be of any help to others doing similar projects ;-) trim.7BE67496-CB21-449C-8D5A-BD6A5F132EE9.MOV
