He bought a 113E gen, kept the movement, and is selling off the remaining parts in the sales area of the forum

It's going into a Eddie Lee 127. I'm going to try and source a gen CG and crystal (in that order). Put on some DSN hands and call it a keeper.

Sounds good mate.

You wouldnt be M******509?

[brucesreps]

Why strip it though? This is very confusing to me...

[milesd]

Where do you think gen parts come from? Parts have to come from somewhere. You can't just call up panerai and order a replacement movement. The watch had no box or papers so the price was right.

Merry Christmas to yourself! Looking forward to seeing the final project.

miles, how do you take these close up pics? do you use a P&S or a DSLR with macro lens?

i tried taking some macros with my dad's D300 with a macro lens.. but i couldn't get it this close

are you taking a macro shot then cropping it?

thanks

miles you show off...now just get rid of the 040 and send it my way instead, you've got too many lovely PAMs already

[milesd]

I use a standard canon dslr with a reverse ring. What that does is mount the lens on the camera backwards. Do a search in the camera section, pugwash did a great tutorial on this.

[rnewbie]

Nothing like the engraved movements.

[fishgodeep]

the most desirable handwound movement and probably very cost effective way of perfecting a 1:1 fiddy

Congratulations and looking forward to seeing the finished results!

Cheers
