ubiquitous Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Just a few pics of my ongoing long term challenge/build... My bezel and case that I recently refinished: And assembled: I need to figure out a better solution for the bracelet. Unfortunately, the one fitted doesn't meet up with the lug holes too well; I'd like to get one that fits a bit snugger/flusher in the slots.

dluddy Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Stunning so far Ubi... Couple questions: Did you plate the screws in White gold? Is this a Gen dial and hands? Whats the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Thanks, gents The dial is rep, but pretty dang close to gen... Rep: Gen: Only real difference that I can tell from a quick look is that the number markers are a little further out from the square indicies. Aside from that, it's pretty close I think. Hands are rep as well and all is fitted to an ETA 2824-2 Bezel came with silver bezel screws; no plating here this time. The dial, hands and movement originally came in a case with gold/brass bezel screws. I would have used that case, except it wasn't quite finished completely; some metal flashings still left inside of the lug slots, which made the whole thing a write off @archimede- I wish this case was constructed like gen, but unfortunately, it's not. The bezel is friction fit to the case; this one would be even nicer if it had the sandwich design Thanks for looking! Cheers, //ubi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
