Watchmeister Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I just received back my 188 from Ziggy. The final touch was a gen dial and that very rare perfect date wheel. I simply added the XaMas strap. Here are the other pair: Actually I don't think the last picture is mine but it is in my photobucket and you get the idea. And for those who are lusting after a 196 I will most likely sell or auction it in the next few week with a chunk of the proceeds going to RWG so stay tuned. No need to PM though as it will be publicly offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolfire Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Lovely, amazing 188! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectologist Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Now that's a white dial I could love. A less complicated white dial can be pretty boring to my eyes but that 188 is another story! Congrats on your daylight chrono projects... The Zigmeister's talent never ceases to amaze.

Watchmeister Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Interesting thing is the 162 is bone stock gen, the 188 is the rep with the usual gen crown single-sided AR and date wheel but with the gen dial and the 196 is one step down with the same as the 188 sans gen dial. In fairness though, the original 196 dial was a fabulous dial. Other than an elongated marker at 6 and extra tick mark at 12 it is perfect. Most importantly the overall dial finish and number shapes are spot on. Needless to say, the 188 (and the new Chrono Avenger) will be getting all the wear for the next week.

siesta181 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Beautiful. I just received an old case 188. I am embarking on this project as well. I'd have to make to do with a crappy 7753 188 dial though. Wear it well mate. Cheers siesta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcaap_dan Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 And for those who are lusting after a 196 I will most likely sell or auction it in the next few week with a chunk of the proceeds going to RWG so stay tuned. No need to PM though as it will be publicly offered. Great, now I have to keep hitting the refresh checking the for sale sections for the next few weeks.

TK471 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 W, do you know how long I looked for that dial before I ultimately ditched my 188? I thought it was the proverbial white unicorn. Yours is absolutely stunning. Congrats on a fantastic watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
