projectologist Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I was going through my misc. parts boxes yesterday. Started to mix and match random pieces and have started to bring this one into focus. I decided I wasn't going after a specific model this time (really don't want to spend months sourcing the "correct" parts), but just combine my favorite ingredients... JF case (this one is a stripped down for parts carcass), historic cg (gen from 2006) and FGD dial and backplate. Might splurge and park a gen EFG movement in it until I start another fiddy project or just put in a reliable 6497-1 movement from Otto Frei along with a solid case back. Use some diamond paste to remove all AR from the crystal, source a bezel that fits and I'm done. Oh yeah, and I have a couple of T48 crowns coming in from T's blow-out sale. Really don't care about serial or OP #'s. Just want to end up with a no-stress project that looks nice and will make a great daily wearer. So far...

fishgodeep Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Robert - If these are you left overs then I'd love to see what the "main course" was in your parts box!! Choice parts indeed!! Cheers Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
