crockey Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Just got this back from The Zigmeister, and I think it turned out great. Specs are: MBK case Yuki gilt dial and modded MBK hands, vintage lume by The Zigmeister Gen crown and Tube Unfortunately, The Zigmeister could not get the Clark crystal to fit the case Drilled lugs Rounded case edges Special thanks to The Zigmeister. He did an amazing job, and I could not be happier! Enough talk, on to the pics....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabus Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Exactly what I've been thinking of trying, looks great, wear it well. Where did you source the MBK? last time I looked I couldn't find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crockey Posted March 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Where did you source the MBK? last time I looked I couldn't find one. Chris at Eurotimez. I have to wonder if the MBK case has changed. I know others have been able to fit a Clark crystal on their MBK, but it would not fit on my case.

lhooq Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Really great job, especially on the weathering. The depth, texture, and color of the lume is amazing, but I guess that's to be expected! Shame about the Tropic 22, though. If it's too big, you might want to give an aftermarket T19 a try for a taller crystal. The trick is finding one with the same profile as an old T22. I haven't, so far, but there are one or two sold on Ofrei that come close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valerian Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Adorable watch. I like it very much. Lani's 1016 brought tears to my eyes already... Val. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhooq Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Which one of these would you recommend? http://www.ofrei.com/page419.html I've yet to fit them, but I ordered the Sternkreuz T19 and the PA 462-66. The SK crystal looks to be a better bet, but -in hindsight- I wish I'd ordered the 462-67 as well. Both look to be closer matches to the T22 than the Clark 'Vintage T19' that I currently have fitted to my rep. The Clark is a nice and deep dome, but lacks an edge on the circumference. I'm currently on a business trip, but when I get home in a few days I can post a few macros for comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
