Clint Eastwood Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hello all, Here my new finished vintage pam : the big egi. When the cartel one was realised last year i was very happy and order one fast, but when watch arrive i realise than first it is too big to be wear, and second it was very cheap with an easily loosed bezel, but i like the look of it; so i decide to buy a "wearable" big egi, so i contact DSN. i buy the case set only as i planed to use it with unitas and with one of the wonderfull Ross dial i have ready for months. Watche arrive quickly and look nice but with a lots a flaws. But don't realy have time to work on it so do the mod some time during the past 6 months. First i need to reshaped the lugs, to be round by side, and make a thick 1.8mm thick screwed bars by left as gen. After i mod the CG area to deplace it 2mm at left near the bezel as it is too big first and look horrible, after i mof the internal tube to adapt unitas, and i mod a lot the CG to look close to gen. But the watch don't satisfied me, look too thick, so i decide to remove thickness of case be removing the gap on it who don't exist on gen. So i remove 2mm of steel beetween bezel and case, very hard and long job! i also make a new correct pearl. But to be use with the wonderfull Ross dial i need to mod the inner bezel who is too small , so inner bezel was make bigger of 2mm in diameter to adapat Ross dial. Dial are painted, resin filled , lumed . Hour and minute hand are mod to look like angelus and curved. Second hands is custom made to adapt small unitas subdial. Back are sterilised and with circular brushed. Case are vintagised and lightly polished and rust are adding all around each dots of bezel and elsewhere. Leather band use linnen thread. I also put wrist shot so you can see it is wearable. Let me know yours comments:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
