Ronin Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Some pics from my bench. Details to follow. This is an homage/tribute piece I am practicing my assembly skills on. Since it is a tribute, I need not worry about the small stuff. It is actually fun sourcing unbranded Rolex parts. Movement is Gen ETA 2836-2. I call this my 653.09D. 653 for tribute, 09 for 2009. D for date. (My own homebrew "Kingston" kinda sorta...) In a hurry, but I will post more details and progress pics asap. Thanks for looking, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
